Sexual morality

[mycorrhiza]

So that would mean living as a closet case.

Nope. It simply means not having sex in front of your family/friends or not saying "hello mom, I'm going to have sex with my partner now".

Here's an idea regarding what is an acceptable sexual practice and what is not.

As long as all individuals involved in the particular sexual act are consenting, do whatever you want.​

Anyone have thoughts about this?

So I'm curious,
What are you views related to this on Cheating/affairs/adultery?

I know it wasn't directed at me, but I'll answer anyway .

If the relationship is defined as exclusive, then it's immoral. If the relationship is open or anarchistic, then it's not immoral.

"Sound mind" insures they won't do anything destructive or dangerous.

I would say that it would be more accurately expressed as "They know exactly what they are getting into."

I rather think of it as "They know exactly what they might be getting into and wouldn't do anything stupid."

Death is a permanent state and directly has an impact on the friends and family of the dead person. I think this is the third time I write that.

Like I said, I'm just taking that point to its logical conclusion.

But if those others are affected by it - as is the case if the person dies - then it DOES matter what those others think.

Then you should add an addendum to your OP since it encourages slightly more freedom but with still more restrictions on it.

what kind of thoughts? (serious question)

I wouldn't call that a logical conclusion. Death directly affects others and can't exactly be kept to the bedroom.

It twists the meaning of the original post.

No, it doesn't. The OP didn't put any conditions on it.

I still see no problem with consenting suicide/homicide.

No one has a right to your life but yourself.

 

[Brickjectivity]

But morality is subjective. How can you say it is wrong if both the people involved think it is okay?

"Irresponsible sexual actions are immoral, even if they are mutually consensual." I'm not talking about the quality or quantity of the sex, and I'm not bringing religious things into it.

 

[Sunstone]

I would make similar arguments based on consent and self-sovereignty and that included arguing for...necrophilia...

Just out of curiosity, how can necrophilia be consensual?

 

[mycorrhiza]

No, it doesn't. The OP didn't put any conditions on it.

He explained what he meant by it later. It wasn't phrased perfectly at first. If you look at the explanation, then you cannot draw the conclusion that it's ok to murder someone just because they've given consent.

It means if you want to have gay sex, then go ahead. If you want to have an orgy with your neighbor, then go ahead. Just as long as every individual who is affected by it is involved willingly.

I'm generally against it.

Well, I did say that everyone involved should consent. The involvement can be indirect.

 

[Tiberius]

Your opinion.

"Irresponsible sexual actions are immoral, even if they are mutually consensual." I'm not talking about the quality or quantity of the sex, and I'm not bringing religious things into it.

Care to give a specific example?

 

[Tiberius]

No, it doesn't. The OP didn't put any conditions on it.

Actually, I did put conditions on it. ALL individuals involved must be consenting. Doesn't matter if they are directly involved or indirectly involved. The family of someone who dies during sex is indirectly involved in that sexual act.

Yes, that's what I was trying to say. It's consistent.

"Irresponsible sexual actions are immoral, even if they are mutually consensual."

You have aids and you sleep with a girl who doesn't, even though she gives her consent. She gets aids from you. Even though the sex was consensual it was still irresponsible, therefore it was immoral.

Your brother has a gorgeous girlfriend. They're great for each other. You sleep with her, and it breaks them up. His life is now Sh**t. You've been irresponsible, so you've been immoral.
