Because sometimes it seems like conservatives (not religious but all conservatives) get hung up on sex.

I can agree with that.

Well I think if comes down to the fact that, like eating, most adults are doing it. Some people have a problem with it (Overeating/porn/adultery, ect), and there are very few issues that touch ALL people. Religion doesn't, being rich or poor doesn't, the environment doesn't- so if you are trying to reach a majority of your audience, it only makes sense to use information, and headlines that grab a majority of people.

Just a thought

sex before dinner,
after dinner,
during dinner,
instead of dinner,
any time is all right in my opinion.

In my opinion Hebrews 13:4 says that marriage is honorable but adultery/infidelity is wrong. It also says that the marriage bed is undefiled. In my opinion that means that whatever two consenting marriage partners do is OK and it is none of my business and we all should stay out of their bedroom and leave them alone.

The marriage bed, but what about the dinner table or say the living room? Is that undefiled?

[Praxeas]

3:4 uncover his feet: Ruth would remove the edge of Boaz’s outer garment from his feet and lie down by his uncovered feet. Touching and holding his feet was an act of submission. This was a daring and dramatic action that would call for a decision on his part to be her protector—and, likely, her husband.

Some commentators suggest that what Ruth did presented an opportunity for immorality. But nothing in the passage supports this. Her mother-in-law had complete confidence in the integrity of the kinsman-redeemer. Boaz could be trusted to act responsibly. And Ruth was recognized by everyone as “a woman of noble character” (v. 11). The uncovering of the feet was a ceremonial act that was completely proper. Probably the scene took place in the dark so that Boaz had the opportunity to reject the proposal without the whole town knowing about it.
