As wrong as you can get
The Guardian quotes Justice Scalia as saying "I even take the position that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged."
Sex creates tension. It doesn't releve it. I agree with Scalia on most issues. I hope he clearifies this statement. Sex without permenent commitment is nearly always destructive to the psyche and to the soul. It is something that can never be undone.
Update. As I should have suspected, this quote was taken out of context... Here is SfGate's version of the quote:
"Let me make it clear that the problem I am addressing is not the social evil of the judicial dispositions I have described. I accept, for the sake of argument, for example, that sexual orgies eliminate social tension and ought to be encouraged," Scalia said with a smile.
