SEX

The issue of same-sex marriage (S-SM) has become a source of worry around the world. While some countries have legalized the practice, some other ones have not; and yet others are considering formalizing it beyond mere civil union. There are so many philosophical (favorable and others against) arguments about the practice of S-SM, ranging from religious, cultural, legal, and political grounds. However, that the idea ofS-SM isbeing accorded a modicum of praxis around the world implies that there, in the least, are some perceived (or real) social values of the practice. Hence this theoretical but lateral article, by analyzing of specific available literature on human sexuality vis-a-vis marriage/sex, explains the essential nature of (the issues concerning) S-SM or union, and articulates the possible social and psychological values accruable from the practice. It outlines and juxtaposes the moral and legal suasions surrounding the doctrine of S-SM so as to spit an overview of its personal/psychological and social values. It thus articulates a philosophical basis for the possible tenability of the same-sex (S-S) union as state doctrine and policy for nascent society that desiresto stamp out the excesses of orthodox marriages such as, in the least, violent rivalry arising from sexual interests, gender agitations, and avert population explosion.
