So is promiscuity illegal?  Dangerous?  Profane?  Pornographic?  Why is it
not protected under the constitution?  What is unique about it that it's
not protected as freedom of speech?

I understand that most of us don't want our daughters or sons to be
promiscuous, but should the State be involved in that?  Most of America
doesn't want their kids to be gay, either (according to polls), but should
the State be regulating that?  That's my problem with this.  If it's
promiscuity today, what will it be tomorrow?  It's exactly why the law
protects speech.
