What I don't get is, a person can, for instance, buy 50 pairs of shoes a year or get $20,000 worth of plastic surgery or spend literally hundreds of hours a year playing video games and the like wth nary a raised eyebrow. But sleep with "too many" people or for the "wrong reasons" and not only is your character questioned but your self-worth and even your sanity. There are all sorts of reasons for why people do any manner of 'abnormal' things. It's the sex. After all the talk and the books and the movies and the porn, people still feel ambivalent about the morality of sexual freedom.
