Sexual Deviance

[adrina]

Do you think everything should be legal if there is consent?

I was talking about this:

"If deviant behavior has been more widespread than acknowledged openly, does talking about it openly reduce its incidence or increase it? "

I don't see that the government has any interest or business in what consenting adults do sexually in the privacy of their bedroom. Or kitchen. Or living room. Or on their dining room table or while hanging from their chandeliers.

But your questions are different.

Without hitting google up to compare and contrast historical events, it's a guess. And my guess it that it's pretty much probably a net zero. Prohibition didn't stop alcohol use, it just drove it underground. Did ending prohibition increase alcohol use? Doubt it. Just put it so where people knew about it. People do all sorts of things. It's just a matter if we know or not. In some cases it might make it less attractive to the rebels and in some cases more attractive to the regular Joe/Jane. But all in all, people are going to do what they are going to do. It's just a matter of whether they will hide it or flaunt it.

Does staying quiet enable more to engage in the shadows?

or

Does making it public lead to greater acceptance and greater engagement?

This seems quite clear as a conversation start.

During high school years i worked in a shopping mall. Many clerks at most stores were young. I was high school age and dated several mall girls, so did the other boys. The mall young people came from several high schools, a good way to meet girls, yes?

There were always older men trying to date the young female clerks.

Some were men 25-35? Who worked as store managers or asst mgrs.

Some were older men we called mall crawlers who were hunting for pussy.

We all knew who they were quietly. I do not think any were reported to any authority unless something bad happened. Even then maybe not. Who knows?

Did the being quiet make it easier fir creeoers?

Or if people said out loud, that’s jim he likes younger than him, would it be easier for him to find dates?

You can apply any deviance from normal that applies to you, but the question is about if shining light on others quirks or staying quiet is better or a better way to have our society.

What is defined as deviant behavior is based on social norms. In one part of the world there might be a society that condones and encourages young girls to marry much older adult males. In other civilized places it is considered by those societies to be deviant pedophilia behavior.

The most unnatural sexual perversion is celibacy.

this conversation seems like it has the potential to get someone banned.

Are you volunteering as tribute?

There are some people who consider it to be sexual deviancy to have any kind of sexual activity that is not marital and is not intended to produce offspring. And, by marital, I mean married in a church. Others might carry this further and require the missionary position in bed in a dark room.

In which case, couples unable to sprout children are deviants. Their marriages must be annulled; that would be automatic after menopause or sterilization (deliberate or unwanted).

Others might carry this further and require the missionary position in bed in a dark room.

Those trying to control others' sexuality are the asswipes here. Yeshua said nothing about how or who to fuck. Except maybe that "love thy brother" bit.

Two pages and I still have no idea what the OP is talking about.

Name names, dude.

Issue is with consent, not just illegality.

Animals are not able to give consent, children are not able to give consent, rape by its very definition is non consensual.

Sexual deviation among consenting parties is not problematic.

Sexual deviation among non consenting parties is problematic.

Get a grip on yourself. It is clearly an evolving standard. Historically, it was much more open and then we became prudes and now we are losing the prude and we have lots of metrics from the past.

Your post makes me want to scrub with bleach.

It would not erase the guilt of what you did before you hagged out.

 

[WoundedKnee]

The definition of adult is an evolving concept too. On one hand we have the example of the Prophet and on the other hand we have the Obamacare debacle and the idea that at 26, you're still not fully adult.

So what you must be trying to say is, "This is what is illegal at the moment." There is no such thing as deviation when it comes to sex (think gender identity). You are attracted to what you are attracted to. To call that attraction a deviation is very narrow-minded and judgmental. Even if you are prohibited by law (as homosexuality used to be) from being happy, the line of deviation has long since been erased.

You really are jumping through logical hoops to normalize pedastry.

You must have a degree in logic or mathmatics or something, you have such an orderly (some might call it "one track") mind.

I'm sure Pervert Roy Moore must sincerely appreciate your efforts to rationalize his aberrant behavior.
