Of course its disgusting.

But see, when someone says 'adults with consent', disgusting is not in that paradigm.

Oh, there are many things I find disgusting: sex with children, for example. Sex that is not consensual. Sex where people are lying to each other.

I find it disgusting that marital rape wasn't recognized until recently. I find it disgusting that many people want to limit access to birth control. I find it disgusting that people judge based on whether someone is attracted to the same gender. I find it disgusting that many places in the world blame the victim of rape over the perpetrator. I find it disgusting that a woman who was raped can be said to have 'asked for it' if she wore sexy clothes.

Even without that it's still gross and I would stop them

Why is it any of your business if they are both adults and are wanting to do it? Your disgust doesn't mean *they* are in the wrong.

Too many people have an underdeveloped "it's none of my business" sense.

Aside from cultural taboos...
I can't think of a reason that it'd be wrong if freely given consent is there.
I mean aside from if one of them was trans and they werent using protection. Then there's the risk of birth defects...

Take away the disgust...what exactly is immoral? Just it's wrong and disgusting isn't satisfactory to me. I need a concrete answer as to why it's wrong. Lot of things are taboo that aren't terrible...


I will say the power differiantals does seem to be a problem tho. Im unsure in this case consent can be freely given. Which is why I'd oppose it

Yes, the power differential is the main concern. It limits whether there can be really free consent, like what happens with a boss and an employee. And without that consent, it is wrong.

I also think that cases of actual consent would be *very* few. The cultural bias has developmental roots (people raised together as children tend not to be attracted to each other sexually later).

I'll add I have very strong rules on consent...
Fries is a good acrynom.
Freely given(no coersion)
Reversible(no sex with someone asleep or unconsious and you can revoke it at any time)
Informed(all understand what's happening)
Enthusiastic(all want it)
Specific(only what is agreed to...)

Title question :)

Some do not hate gay people, some forbid trans people, some allow child marriage, some mutilate genitals, some have many wives, some allow masturbation and some try to have sex with incubus

What are your rules?
As you probably can see, you will have a rainbow spectrum of possibilities.

Personally, I see it as a covenant and not a contract. It is spiritual and physical involving the soul also. The face to face intimacy is reserved for each other only.

But, as we can see, you can't legislate humankind's decisions. Certainly, I am not the person to dictate my position to others.

I decided that its my business same as I decided murderers and rapists are my business, my own affair my own to do list

Yes they are wrong, maybe you have not developed a sense of right and wrong

What does the soul do in it? I like the idea of exclusive reservation
