Bad Sex

I've got no problem with
people who love others
even those who are the same sex
The problem comes when
they "love" inappropriately
 
We all condemn the pedophiles
the rapists, johns, and whores
but when it comes to sexual sin
I think we need to go one step more
 
Homosexuality
is wrong,
just like adultery
but we don't want to hear that,
so we just ignore the truth
 
And we don't like
to hear the pastor say
looking at porn and
reading smut and slash
is just as bad
as going all the way
 
I'm not immune to the temptation
I get turned on too
Brad Pitt, Jerry O'Connell,
Brendan Fraiser, Matthew McConaughey,
Sean Connery (that voice!)...
I could go on and on,
but none of them are mine
and I don't even have the right to drool
 
Now I don't doubt that some people
may really be built "that way"
but last I checked,
some people were built
pathological liars
or kleptomaniacs
or predisposed to become
serial killers
That doesn't make their wrongs okay
 
It just means they are
tempted and tried
and may have a harder time
controlling themselves
 
perhaps the saddest thing
is that most of the time
we don't put bad sex
on the same level with those things
because we think there is no victim
 
we're wrong
even if at the moment we think it's
fun, good, healthy, exhilarating
bad sex destroys the people having it
