Quote by Bertrand Russell

Sex outside marriage is sin; sex within marriage is not sin.

Sex outside marriage is sin; sex within marriage is not sin.

Summary

This quote suggests that engaging in sexual activities outside the confines of marriage is considered sinful, while engaging in sexual activities within the context of a marital relationship is not. The notion is based on certain religious or moral beliefs that view marriage as the legitimate and sacred setting for intimate relationships. It implies that the act of sex is only morally acceptable and in alignment with religious principles when it occurs between two individuals who are married to each other.
