The moral status of harmless adult-child sex
Public Affairs Quarterly 15 (2):111--132 (2001)
| Abstract | Nonforcible adult-child sex is thought to be morally wrong in part because it is nonconsensual. In this paper, I argue against this notion. In particular, I reject accounts of the moral wrongfulness of adult-child sex that rest on the absence of consent, concerns about adult exploitation of children, and the existence of a morally primitive duty against such sex. | |||||||||
