MORALITY, ETHICS and VALUES
Sexual morality: Celibate – Traditional opposite gender and marriage with some falling away – Open Sexual Continuum aka. Kinsey
What changed in America in regard to morals?
Playboy Philosophy – Consenting Adults
Kinsey Report – produced by an admitted gay – any chance of bias?
Kinsey quotes:
"Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual. The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats. It is a fundamental of taxonomy that nature rarely deals with discrete categories... The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects."
Essential Assistant - From the beginning, Kinsey found himself attracted to Martin, and as their relationship deepened Kinsey began trying to seduce the younger man, using his authority as professor and employer to persuade Martin to enter into an affair.

His slippery slope aka. continuum : "The only unnatural sex act is that which you cannot perform."
biologically there is no form of outlet which I will admit as abnormal."[3] The problem, according to him, is that society was conditioned through traditional modes of thought to believe
that heterosexual activity within marriage, especially, is both correct and
the healthiest means of sexual expression. Kinsey strictly believed that
is all forms are healthy and that if any one form is abnormal and lesser, it
heterosexual intercourse.[4]
One of the most worrisome of his concepts is that which justifies
pedophiliac activity. Kinsey believed that children were predisposed to
sexual activity from the moment of birth and that adult-child sex was
included under the notion of a sexual outlet. Our social conditioning made
it taboo, although it is actually a "normal" sexual behavior that should be
practiced as well as pursued, Kinsey believed. He maintained that when done
under circumstances where the adult genuinely cares for the child, as would
a loving parent or relative, sex between an adult and a child could prove
to be a healthy experience for the child. The results are unfavorable

If the continuum existed only in Kinsey's mind it essentially applied to only the 1-3% open sexual participants.
Enter Hefner's Consenting Adults How many have hence fallen into acting on this belief and moved away from traditional marriage/monogamous relationships/religion? This wanders over the edge into Open Sexual practice.
Are people born to Open Sexuality or is it a learned cultural expression? The LBGT community crys foul if the word "recruit" is uttered but, the young or the vulnerable are drawn into this choice through self-questioning because of cultural ambiguity and an incompletely established sexual identity (brain not fully developed until age 25), promotion and parading by advocates, seduction, alcohol, drugs, money, the need for companionship, "imprinting" from an initial experience.
It isn't just "homophobes" who think things have gone too far. Even some is the gay community have a fundamentally understanding that this is wrong:

All this is behavior. Society has not sanctioned all behaviors as equal. Most things that are against the law are behaviors. People should be equal, but not all behavior is equal. What the Open Sexuality community seeks is equality of desire. If society yields to this, no sexual activity on that continuum is off limits. Some on the Right call this the slippery slope.
