Good posting everyone. I just don't see sex as being all that funny. I'm not the sort that'll hear a sex joke and be offended (as I am totally open-minded), but they aren't all the humorous. Same goes for farting and belching. Why does everyone laugh at this? It's the expelling of gas through the body. What is it that's so hilarious? The sound it makes? I don't know about you guys, but my choice of chuckle is different. I, myself, am a fan of jokes about religion (IE - Dogma). Here's one of my favorite George Carlin jokes:

When I was a kid and going to church, I noticed a lot of odd things. Somethings were being rewritten as of not being sins. Prime example: the meat on Friday thing. For the longest time it was a mortal sin to eat meat on a Friday and now - all of a sudden - it was fine! That means there's gotta be at least one poor guy who's roasting in Hell because he had a ham sandwich!

But, true, many jokes these days are directed towards the prime audience of our time. This being sex-jokes. Sex jokes can be funny if done well. I actually saw Scary Movie 2 (God have mercy on my soul) and hated every second of it. It was all a bunch of over-done sex/fart/burp jokes - and they weren't even done well in the first place!
