Secular humanists view sexuality as a part of human life, not subject to the arbitrary demands of an imaginary deity or the control of government.
This does not mean that secular humanists are necessarily promiscuous. There are perfectly practical reasons to exercise caution about sex, since there are real dangers in the form of sexually transmitted disease, unwanted pregnancy, jealousy or other emotional problems, child support payments, etc.
Like most secular activities altruism, not morality , is the guiding principle in play. Self determined control is the important issue. This precludes the control of sexuality among consenting responsible adults based on "standards of morality" or government regulation.

How many religions consider homosexuality a sin?
A:Most Christian denominations used to regard homosexuality as a sin, although there is change towards tolerance and acceptance. Most of Judaism also regards homosexuality as a sin. Islam is, by and large, stridently homophobic, although homosexuality is practised openly in some of the most fundamentalist areas such as Afghanistan but in a way that allows it not to be regarded as homosexuality. The ancient Greco-Roman state religion considered morality as a secular matter, not something for religion to concern itself with, so Greece was very tolerant of homosexuality, while it was frowned upon in Rome. Egyptian religion was known to encourage sexuality, so it seems to have been tolerant of homosexuality. The mystery religions that emerged in the eastern Mediterranean region at around the same time as Christianity demanded confession of sins, but not much seems to be known about what they regarded as sin. Eastern religions also tend to consider morality as a secular matter, rather than a religious one.
