Sex is like video games, gambling, or alcohol.
If you're doing it to have fun and enjoy yourself, it's good.
If you're doing it to cover up an emotional hole in your life, it's bad.

This is the crux of my argument: laissez faire word choice is not practical. Effective communication demands not only knowing what words mean, but knowing how they will be heard.
