What you're describing, if it even could be applied, would be rife with abuse for people getting permission. That, and the whole permission aspect would pretty much be eugenics. To ask would imply they'd turn people down at least some of the time, and when they are already making that call, it's eugenics.

Reading the replies, I find it kind of odd that nobody has come up with any arguments as to why sex shouldn't be outlawed. Because it isn't necessary. And the forum's responses are exactly what they're supposed to be in a thread like this, jokes.

Reading the replies, I find it kind of odd that nobody has come up with any arguments as to why sex shouldn't be outlawed. Because it's dirty and leads to STD's, unwanted pregnancy, and other negative things? Plus by eliminating all sexual desire it would solve a lot of the worlds problems... Not sure I would go about outlawing the only natural way of reproduction. Plus like, how would you ever enforce it? Unless you're planning on having police in every bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, restaurant booth (what? I'm sure it happens), or car, you're kinda screwed here. Well in the scenario I came up with, I was thinking that maybe scientists could develop some sort of thing to either put into the planets atmosphere/air supply, or spray across the entire planet, that would take away all sexual desire/feelings/pleasure etc. So in this scenario, people wouldn't want to have sex for pleasure, so it would police itself. As for reproduction, I guess people could still have sex then, but they'd have to apply for permission to do so. So this is a joke right? Otherwise this is the most WTF question I have read in some time. I'm not joking. I am being hypothetical, but I'm not joking. At that point you might as well also outlaw eating,drinking water and breathing. Why? You need those things to survive, you don't need sex to survive.Uhh...yeah, we do! How else are we gonna procreate?

I'm starting to think "Outlaw Sex" sounds like an awesome concept, a hilarious parody or a heavy metal band. Sounds like the porno version of the anime Outlaw Star to me.

Reading the replies, I find it kind of odd that nobody has come up with any arguments as to why sex shouldn't be outlawed. Because until the science changes, it’s literally the only way humans reproduce. There, there’s the counter argument. And even then, all that stuff happens if a) you’re not responsible in doing it or b) don’t know how to do it properly so if anything, stronger sex education in schools would solve that. So apparently artificial insemination doesn't exist then? Because I always thought that it did, and that it was an alternative way of reproduction that didn't involve having sex...

Yes, it does. I was waiting tables years ago and a 40-something couple was in a booth. They were probably drunk and making out pretty hard. Long story short, we had to call security (this was a casino) and warn them, because he was starting to let his fingers do the talking, if you know what I mean.

It's developed in the same way self driving cars are. Nowhere near public ready.

To ask would imply they'd turn people down at least some of the time, and when they are already making that call, it's eugenics. Thing too is, if a couple is in the mood to have sex, they're probably not going to care about a denial or, realistically, spend the time to apply. I suppose this hypothetical "spray" could fix this, but at that point, you've no need for a application process anyway.

No I for one believe it should be legal, regulated and taxed. How would you regulate and tax sex?

You keep asking for arguments about why sex shouldn't be outlawed but haven't given a good reason for why it SHOULD other than "because it's gross." You also conveniently ignored eJm's point about stronger sex education helping to curb diseases and such.

Oh...This thread is serious.
No. Here's why:
1. Reproduction 2. It's fun and brings people closer together 3. Cartels/gangs would start killing people over the black market porn trade 4. Soul/RnB/Rap and many other genres take big hits to their musical content 5. My wife no longer has any power to make me mow the lawn, it get's completely unmanageable 6. Attitude Era loving YouTube commenters gain even more ammo 7. My wife leaves me because of the lawn 8. Finally, all animals have a primal desire to spread their genetics going forward. It's what drives them to reproduce, most people have a natural desire to do this. Take away this desire and why does anyone want to have children? Without their natural desire to nurture and raise children there's no desire to do so. We start producing people on an as-needed basis for specific roles because no ones having kids just because. We're ants now.
Do you want to be an ant OP?

Reading the replies, I find it kind of odd that nobody has come up with any arguments as to why sex shouldn't be outlawed. I've seen plenty of arguments in this thread. Outlawing sex and eliminating sexual desire are two separate things. While the first one can technically be done by creating a new law, the second would require physical and mental adjustments to any and all humans on this damn planet. And if sex became illegal, don't be surprised if sexual desire got worse, either because people would be having less sex or out of spite. That would cost a shitload of time, research and money. China's had something sorta like this for years. It's been controversial. So you really do want sex to be illegal? Yes, we do.

Do they still serve that big as cookie sheet of nachos? I'm starting to think "Outlaw Sex" sounds like an awesome concept, a hilarious parody or a heavy metal band. Sounds like the porno version of the anime Outlaw Star to me. I can picture illegal sex being a mandate in some anime that takes place in a dystopian future.

Also, because this thread is already bonkers, let's get into how morally repugnant it is to just take away sexual desire from everyone. Even if, for some reason, you thought it was better for the world you are taking away people's ability to make their own choices about sex.

Also, if artificial insemination is the answer to procreating now that sex has been outlawed, from where are you getting the sperm? Because if it's still through the male providing a sample, and if there isn't a biological issue preventing normal pregnancy... why not just have sex? Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't biological issues/same sex couples wanting children aside from adoption why artificial insemination is necessary in the first place? If you're forcing everyone to have kids this way solely because "sex is illegal", you're gonna be wasting trillions of dollars and causing mass confusion and frustration here.
