Can someone use Kantian ethics to explain to me why consensual

If STDs could vote, they'd campaign for anything that increases sexual promiscuity.

Eradicating STDs would increase sexual promiscuity.

Using a person as a means to an ends (sexual gratification) instead of as an ends itself (marriage), even if they are both doing it, is against the categorical imperative.

Its not that its not ok, its that if you were following Kantian ethics why would you not already be married before having sex?

That's a good answer. Scruton's answer is similar in his book on Sexual Desire

Because it's 2017 and we're surrounded by licentious whores?

>break marriage vows
>what if every spouse did this
>marital vows dont sense

Yeah but if you were a Kantian you wouldn't have sex with them unless you loved them and if you loved them you would marry them.

Its a key difference as having sex with a woman who you truly love before marriage isn't a sin but it wouldn't make sense in the long run if you have means to marry her.

And God suddenly making me handsome would increase my sexual promiscuity, but we both know that neither is going to happeb

Good thread.
