Society, in basing it's morality partially upon Judaic morals, has
(or had) a pretty good idea of what is normal sexuality; heterosexual
activity within the marriage bond; and what is excessive or perverse.
Excessive or perverse sexuality changes one, it makes one more like
an animal; and society has every right to not be a society of
animals; no big brotherism intended.

Nu, God has. But one can learn this from reason as well.
