Hmm. What is the current state of adultery¹? Is it increasing? Is it usefully driving economic growth (all those little gifts - and big ones too)? ¹It'll no be the Vatican, I'm thinking, even if they do have a copy of the Sinners' Bible.

So if you actually look in the data, you might -- and pro- bably will -- find it's increased. Of course, that's just a personal opinion, and since both modern and historic data is often /missing/ [1] your guesstimate is as good as mine. Best wishes, and happy marriages!

The number of couples that live together in a long-term relationship, but do not marry, is increasing. If one of people in that arrangement has consensual sexual intercourse with a person other than the person they live with, is it still "adultery"?

It's probably coveting thy neighbour's ass.

Perhaps you've lived too long in Germany…. 1. We're in the realm of the commandments, which express disapproval of both adultery and coveting neighbours' asses (meaning the animals). 2. The sense of 'ass' in a sexual context is rather fuzzy; it's most often the rear but may include other desirable elements - e.g.: "[...] (in a sexual context) the vagina; occas. the penis [...]" - <https://greensdictofslang.com/search/basic?q=ass> A note on spelling: 'ass' not 'arse'? Has to be. Spelling must yield to humour, l'humour doit l'emporter sur l'orthographe. This does involve a bit of soul-searching, it's true. Have I been unfaithful to my Englishness?

There. I feel better now.

There once was a vicar of Kings
Whose mind was on heavenly things
But is hear was on fire
For a boy in the choir
Whose arse was like jelly on springs.

I would say "yes" because it's still liable to ruin the non-married re- lationship. And, while it became the new normal to live together without a priest's blessing, people do take their love life just as seriously as in ages past. That is to say, /not at all/ for some people, and /very seriously/ for others. Best wishes, and happy marriages. -- Johann | email: invalid -> com | http://www.myrkraverk.com/blog/ I'm not from the Internet, I just work there. | via Easynews.com https://bsky.app/profile/myrkraverk.bsky.social | for ( ;; ) _:; Federated at https://fed.brid.gy/bsky/myrkraverk.bsky.social

We're not that different. Yes. At work, we used routinely to produce documents in which only some pages carried text or graphics; the others had "This page intentionally left blank" on them. One day, proofreading, I changed an instance of this to "unintentionally" and sent it back to the word-processing pool. The operator was kind enough to include this 'correction' (she did remove it again on the next iteration, before the document went out). A sort of inter-office wink. The Sinners' Bible is much better.
