@freyanudist,
Two separate questions.
The answer to both is "depends where you are".

In general, one function of religious or societal rules is to counter "unregulated animal sexuality" because humans are unique in having the cognitive problem of "thinking about consequences",

How would people remain clean if they could not take baths or showers?

Bertrand Russell alleged that a nun told him that her convent required all the sisters to wear a shift in the bath to preserve their "modesty". He asked why this was necessary when nobody could see them. The nun replied "Ah, but you forget the good Lord". Russell said that she evidently conceived of the deity as a celestial peeping Tom whose gaze could penetrate walls but was frustrated by a thin shift.

I believe that "counter" is only a mere prefix.
More properly it shud be rendered: counter-act.

Only in public, like most religious (and non-religious) rule systems.

@freyanudist,
No, but creating a topic when you know the answer you want, and then dropping spammy links to justify your position is against this site's Terms of Service.

The subject matter of the definition is not in dispute,
but I believe that it is only a prefix, and therefore,
it shud more properly be rendered: counter-act.
That lexicografer is un-impressive. (liberal)

I 'm not discussing theology,
nor am I likely to do that in this forum.

I disagree, Izzy, altho I know that it IS used as if it were not a prefix. I deem that to be error.

IF I decided to express myself without
using counter as a prefix, then I 'd say:
"The legislator's plan ran against what his party
was trying to accomplish as a whole."

@OmSigDAVID,
Well it's not, as most expert sources will confirm. Your opinion is more of an idiosyncrasy than a reliable source in this matter.

And your sentence isn't as good as the original.
