STUDIO ZYTHARROS'S PROFILE

My ultimate end goal is to get my ideas making enough money for me to live comfortably on. I don't care if it becomes a big media conglomerate or if it's just me writing my books and publishing them, and then leasing the various franchise licenses... as long as I get some say in how the game's aesthetic looks and feels.

Puritanism has strong views about sexual morality, believing that it should only be done within the confines of marriage, and never done for recreation; only for procreation. In fact, puritanism condemns any form of recreation, not only sex; it believes the pursuit of pleasure to be selfish and sinful.

In stark contrast, the idea that sex is an enjoyable but intimate and personal act, which is acceptable between two lovers, is a commonly held idea among a huge number of modern people of almost all religions, but especially among atheists and agnostics.

So basically, what people have declared as 'puritanism' in this forum is not entirely puritanism unless the bolded statement also holds true for the individual.

I am neither in the former nor the latter category. I'm a fun-loving, let-loose individual, but I believe sex to be the ultimate seal of the dedication professed in the vows of marriage, the bond meant to solidify those vows in physical, tangible unity, and that it should be saved for that moment and, after that initial consummation, that person. Wherever and whenever it happens from that point on, as long as it's with that one person, is up to the creative and physical limitations of the couple within the allowable legal limits.

I'm of the belief that casual sex usually results in strife, trouble and unwanted results; the abortion industry's existence is the most obvious proof of this statement, and some other repercussions, both scientifically proven and unscientifically proven but observable, support this statement as well.

Statement unfinished... will be back at a later date to conclude it.

An interesting thought. If a genuine connection is made between two characters and it would only make sense for the progression, I would probably accept - and even enjoy - a scene like Feldschlacht IV described... in fact, I employ it in my upcoming book Young Remnant, the first in the saga of The Guardian of Deceit. I just don't like in-front-of-camera sex scenes. I think they break the story up too much.

K. Thanks!
