in my admittedly limited experience, consensual sex tends to increase self-worth. i mean, i'm asexual so i really wouldn't know, but from what i've heard fucking tends to increase self-esteem.

And if all they get is a slap on the wrist and told politely no to do it again, you have no way of diswading people.

Police during the prohibition period mostly refused to arrest those who opened speakeasies, why? Because it was pointless.
There is hardly anyone who would be willingly to support your stupid legislation of no drinking and no sex.

Ah, a conservative think tank peddling anti-welfare, anti-education, and voter disenfranchisement. Why is it that when people ask for evidence, you instead point them to propaganda outlets?

All of this will not be followed by any law enforcement professional because people like to drink and have sex, and it is impossible to ban.

I am sure you have evidence for this opinion. Like you said having an opinion (claiming something) does not mean they are speaking truth.

Sadly, the 1st one costs £30 of my glorious monies.
But if it is like the second one, whether someone has sex inside or outside of marriage, self-esteem varies, except when a male has a child.
