Let me illustrate.

"I'm just off to the club to play tennis". That means getting exilherated (sp?)with otherpeople, sometimes close physical proximity, and a naked experience with a shower, perhaps cubicled, perhaps communal, plus chnaging room cameraderie.

This is socially acceptable with other guys, other women, a mixture of the above, and is performed solo or in groups.

Touch another person in a non sporting manner and the whole world says "Sex!" and it thus has ot be regualted by taboos, ethics, laws, the lot.

What if sex were a pastime, a sport? Would that be so bad? [yes, STIs, HIV, I know all that. Don't go that route. Think outside the box when you reply]
