Somewhere the value of wild, passionate abandon has been lost in this thread. Any pain that comes forthwith is endured as a sacrifice for the bliss of esctasy of the precious moment.

This is a victimless crime, apart from the fact that it has offended sensitivities. But really, the sensitivity is established by the rule. No physical offence is done to an observer by having sex on a beach, and it does not attack anyone's self-esteem.

But it transgresses a rule, and that it is the root of the upset.

I don't think rules on sex develop in societies by accident, they are there to protect children. But if they were using a condom, or she was on the pill and they were confident that neither had an STD, it's a victimless crime.

They should be allowed to go home.
