Personally, I can see pros and cons to this. For: it could probably have uses in sex therapy and so on. Against: I'm no expert in human psychology, but I can see why some people are concerned about the possible impact this could have on society.

For most, I don't think the majority of the population will be fussed or inclined to do this i.e. life will largely carry on as usual and therefore, like so many other things that is the exception to the rule rather than the rule, I think we'll be okay.

It would be interesting to hear everyone else's thoughts.
