If you&#x27;ve slept with somone, is it ok to later sleep with their mates?

So, could you answer my question now? Note the word 'why'.

They're only ridiculous if they don't suit you. Some people want to sleep around, behave a certain way and not have to suffer the consequences. You have to accept that morals are part of being a social being. If you have different morals, you can't expect people to have the same as you.

*sigh* I never said morals were ridiculous I asked if anyone had any ridiculous morlas i.e. certain morals that I would view as ridiculous, not morals in general that I see as wholly ridiculous.

Not much of a question really, if anything it should be self-evident. Anything, by definition, can be "ridiculous" if it provokes a person to laughter, or to think it absurd by virtue of its unreasonableness or silliness. What puppy is asking in essence is whether anyone holds any moral point of view that she would find risible or preposterous. Of course you could respond that you can't possibly know what she would find ridiculous, and I suppose that's a valid, but not insurmountable, objection.

Simply put, they're only ridiculous if it makes YOU laugh. It's totally subjective. You can't impose that certain morals are ridiculous for everyone.

It depends. My college is pretty incestuous and everyone pulls every (not sleeping with though). You can do a fun link of pulling through about 30 ppl and work your way back to yourself, with lots of crossed wires.

However if it was sex it'd be far too intimate. If it's just for fun, I don't think guys mind sleeping with a girl their friend has already had. But I personally wouldn't want to sleep with a guy my friend has slept with.

Ignoring that rather bizarre use of 'impose', I quite agree; in fact that was my point, and puppy's; the purpose of your repeating our points back to us escapes me.

Exactly. That was what lay at the core of my question.

Edit: I wasn't questioning the fact that puppy thought the morals are ridiculous; what I was asking was what made her in particular, specifically, think that.

I meant you can't impose the idea that certain morals are ridiculous...
