More on Sex

Salaams everyone

The usual take on this sex is that it is sacred etc. This is a useful 
message to propogate at a time of HIV/AIDS.

Yet, several issues make me wonder if, however useful, and however desperate 
I am to make the argument, this is an argument that can really withstand 
Qur'anic scrutiny. Let's look at the following

a) the phenomenon of temporary marriage - even if no longer applicable, 
i.e., mansukh
b) the ease of divorce
c) the possibility of four wives
d) the permissability of sex with any amount of slaves

The prohibition on Zina is a matter completely aside. This prohibition says 
nothing about the sanctity of sex or the need for one partner. It may say 
some stuff about fidelity, or the sanctity of marriage.

The dominant Islamic message has been one of 'be faithful" - the B in the 
ABC. Does this faithfulness have anything to with the sanctity of sex inside 
marriage? If yes, then why can I have as many other sexual partners as I 
want as long as I own them?

Salaams
