Russell,

So far I have avoided replying in this thread so far, because I think the whole thing is misconceived from the 
start, let alone so far OT for this place that it's difficult to think how it could be further so!  But I 
think I should do this one, but I won't get dragged in to the discussion beyond this...

I'm not married, and I haven't told my girlfriend about it yet (she lives in New York so I can't show it to 
her in person.  I would guess that she would think it tasteful.  If not, I shall report back when I have her 
actual opinion.

I have no children either, but it wouldn't worry me for someone over 18 to do what they like in this respect, 
however they are related to me.

If they are doing it of their own free will, then I'd be quite happy.  It's not up to me to decide what 
another adult may or may not do.

This is hypothetical - it hasn't actually happened!

n/a

Yes, absolutely.

I have to say that I'm disappointed, Russell - I have always respected your writings here, but I feel this 
outburst of puritanism (not to mention sarcasm) really isn't worthy of you.
