Lebell and I had a long discussion about this thread. It was interesting to hear his perspective and to clarify my own.
Him: It is only sex. There is no emotional connection. It is innocent as long as both parties agree.
Mine: It is more intimate then masturbating to porn as it involves another person who is being actively intimate with you. It is emotional. (That must be the female vs. male perspective?) It is exclussive rather than inclussive (my major reason for saying it is not okay.) It is okay as long as both parties agree.
