THW support FWB ( friends with benefits )

In the ever more demanding world, individuals are forced to work harder and work more! Therefore they have less and less time and energy to pursue a romantic relationship. But in spite of all of their hard work, beneath their nice business suits they are still humans. And human blood carries many different hormones. Certain organs, (yes we are talking about brain :) ), understands these hormones as a very simple message: I want sex. And because these individuals are mostly too busy and have little time and energy to have a loving partner, that eats up their precious time and energy, they usually end up having very little or no sex at all. That makes them feel unsatisfied, unhappy and thus less efficient in their profession. Furthermore they are more susceptible to stress and diseases. To make individuals happier and more satisfied, we should drop a big burden the catholic, puritan tradition weighed upon the western world by defining friends who have unconditional, unbound sex as a sin. We should support this stress reliever by giving tax cuts to hotels that rent rooms for a few hours and leave condomes on the pillows instead of chocolates. We would also give tax cuts to all who help bring people together, dating services or seduction programmes alike... By ajusting certain policies, we must show that having sex is not a sin, but something essentially natural. There are two main reasons why we should do this: 1. Improving individual happiness and health 2. Freeing the society.
  1. By giving everyone better chances to do what his/her body needs and desires we get happier individuals, that are not slaves to their unsatisfied needs and drives. That means you get a psychologically more stable, more effective individual, which can according to Freud do much more for others because he isn't overwhelmed by focusing on himself and his confusing unsatisfied needs. But even more importantly sex is also great for your health. All the medical researches show that individuals that have enough safe sex are also more healthy. A recent study by Queens university revealed that people having enough sex have a reduced risk of heart disease, lose weight, have better overall fitness, have reduced risk of depression, finds that sex is also a good pain-relief, causes less-frequent colds and flu, enable better bladder control, makes teeth more solid and reduces the risk of prostate cancer. We believe that individuals, we are freeing, are responsible enough to have safe sex, because STD are currently declining in the western world and the health benefits of having more sex are enormous, and would consequently decrease the costs for health system, because fewer people would have the mentioned health problems. Another consequence would be happier and more productive citizens, which can create more and better, because they aren't frustrated or overstressed. And that is why it is important to realize that friends with benefits are beneficial individually and socially.
  2. Society should be free of the false norms of catolic, puritan tradition. Having sex is not a sin or something bad, having sex is normal, natural and can be lots of fun. We shouldn't condemn a behaviour, science says is natural. We should condemn ways of thinking that say something that brings us pleasure and happiness is a sin. We should decrease the so called moral limitations and obstacles society is bringing upon already stressed individuals who need sex. If there are fewer limitations or there is support, then logically more individuals will get some. And it is a very good idea for a society, if individuals get some, because the consequences of that is that we get a more relaxed, stress free society. A good example why this works is comparing two monkey species, that are genetically quite similar to us. We have chimpanzees that have a strict social organisation where only dominant males can have sex, and their society is very violent and stressful to live in, because they are always fighting for sex. On the other hand we have the Macaques species that have sex as a way to decrease stress levels - whenever they want. Their society is more peaceful, because there is always a pleasureful way to let of steam. Even the famous sexologist Kinsey reported that because these monkeys use sex as a pressure reliever, their society creates more happy individuals, that cooperate together more effectively. Consequently supporting this plan brings the society satisfied individuals that are not driven by their unsatisfied needs and desires, but are more free to cooperate on common projects and achieve more by working together. Furthermore by decreasing stress and frustration in individuals we also get a less violent society. And I would like to hear a reason why more violence and crime is good? So to free the individuals from the wrong, puritan ideas and to free them from their personal frustrations, it is very important to support this motion.
  • To sum up, supporting FWB improves individual happiness and health and frees individuals and the society from irrational ideas and frustrations caused by lack of sex. Lets help our citizens satisfy their most basic needs safely, instead of frustrating them by creating obstacles for them.

I would like to ask every debater that isn't too busy or "on debating holidays" to help me, by giving suggestions/comments on how to improve this plan ( structure, matter, arguments, more examples where...).

Firstly don't repeat yourself so much. It's all great fun, but go back and count how many times you said ...better productivity...

Secondly do you really want the government in your bedroom? It's all great fun to have sex, but opening the doors is going to create a slippery-slope effect. Think about a less liberal gov. that is going to impose missionary position as the only right one.

Thirdly good luck finding an opp team willing to make a 7-minute speech against more sex ; )

And last but not least:

I wonder if I know any hard-working, suite wearing individual, who need's some 'tension' release.... hmm

Thanks for the comments!
There are excatly 0 better productivities in the plan. ;) ( counted )

I am only training my structure and argumentation, but still fell like it is a fair case, perhaps I will try a opposition speech as well. ( or is there a hero that dares to do it ?
How could I change these speech into a principle debate?

By mistake I found another celebrity support for my plan:

If the suite wearer doesn't get it, feel free to use any arguments ( even ones written above if they help).

I would skip the model part (tax deductions, keeping it purely on principle level, especially since it opens you to attacks from 2 new sides: 1) the role of government, 2) free market

I agree with Simon - scrap the modell, stick to the principle. The only thing you have to argue basically is that sex is good and prove why old Christian morals have no place in today's society. Because once you prove something is good and needed by itself, every plan that provides more of it is good and welcome. You're just providing the justification for it :)

Oh, btw: we all have to argue things we don't believe in eventually, but do you seriously think that you (of all the people in the world) could argue that sex on this principle level is bad? :)

The only chance for the opp is to go one up and argue how moral compulsions are imperative while physical ones are not. Even then you have to show how promiscuousness is immoral but that is doable.

I feel like I am finally starting to get all this principle debate thing... all I need is a few more resources http://www.britishdebate.com/universities/guides.asp - don't seem to have much about it, but do have other useful tips. ( recommended)

Thanks for the comments! I agree.
Maybe the Opp also has a fighting chance if it goes on the line that only quality sex brings all these benefits... and the only quality sex is one you have with a loving partner, regulary!
BTW: did you know that regular sex also help with skin problems? Not to mention that orgasms can raise IQ... :) Internet is sometimes so full of s..t!
