[MD] Is sex a vice or just a matter of change?

[David M]

Steve

I am questioning whether the use of a word 'vice'
that is linked to change as the origin of its word
meaning says something odd about our attitude to
change, fear of change. Does not desire cause us
to change because it leaves us not the same?
