Agree or Disagree?

From the internet encyclopedia of philosophy:

Pausanias, in Plato’s Symposium asserts that sexuality in itself is neither good nor bad. He recognizes, as a result, that there can be morally bad and morally good sexual activity, and proposes a corresponding distinction between what he calls “vulgar”<b> eros </font></b>and “heavenly”<b> eros. </font></b>A person who has vulgar<b> eros </font></b>is one who experiences promiscuous sexual desire, has a lust that can be satisfied by any partner, and selfishly seeks only for himself or herself the pleasures of sexual activity. By contrast, a person who has heavenly<b> eros </font></b>experiences a sexual desire that attaches to a particular person; he or she is as much interested in the other person’s personality and well-being as he or she is concerned to have physical contact with and sexual satisfaction by means of the other person.

So, is there vular/heavenly? Neither? Grey areas? Does it matter?

Personally, as usual, I don't know.

 Pausanias was quite incorrect. "In the beginning, there was the word and the word was SEX, and it WAS GOOD" John I
"Man's greatest fear is the fear of love", I.M.Gottfrei
