I am far from being a prude and left behind the religious right as soon as I hit my teens...but maybe, just maybe, for the first time in my life I'm starting to understand the whole "Sodom and Gomorrah"- as allegory - kind of thing.

Same here.

There is nothing wrong with sex between consenting adults.

There is something wrong with a society that is super saturated with it, to the point you can't escape from it.

I think it should be private, like politics and religion.

There is nothing private about politics and religion. Just read the news. :P

I do agree though that sex should be a private matter and I dislike open displays like this. This isn't holding hands with while walking down the street or making out with your sweetheart in the parking lot. This is wearing fetish gear in public, around children. It's not ok.

No, it's not okay, but there are people on Twitter comparing it people dressed in swim suits.

Don't know if they're being obtuse on purpose, or if they're really that clueless.

Context matters, something that seem lost on them.

I originally posted this article with a title suggesting that the swing the child is holding belonged to the men, and found out later that that is not the case. It was an honest mistake. My apologies, and thanks to those who pointed it out.

I feel like I should be put on a list just for viewing that image.
