"Pleasure Without Conscience" was one of the seven things that Mahatma Ghandi said will destroy us; and such pleasure was NOT regarded by him to be unintentional.

Per Ghandi, it is dangerous to be pulled or lulled away from natural law without conscience. Conscience is the repository of timeless truths and principles - the internal monitor of natural law.

He saw greedy and selfish persons who ask first, "What's in it for me?" and "Will this please me?"  These persons seem to want "pleasures without conscience" or without a "sense of responsibility."

Perhaps you could reformulate your "s*x before marriage" (in the main, a religious issue: Psalm 32; Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32) to s*x while married with someone other than one's spouse (more universally regarded as a social, ethical issue).  Examine the dangers to the people and to the culture of this "pleasure without conscience."
