passfan:
I haven’t read Rabbi Twerski’s objection. But from yidperiod’s post, it sounded like he was objecting to public discussion of sexual issues. Which has nothing to do with providing legitimization, since there is nothing illegitimate about sex.
Besides, if the public gets the impression of legitimization when it wasn’t intended, that is not a substantive issue- that is external.
(Sorry about the bluntness. I don’t want to be misunderstood.)
