Your question seems to presume that two consenting adults don't have the right to engage in sex.

Entitled is the wrong word because it has the implication that once you start, you don’t necessarily have the right to stop.

I do, however, think there’s an intrinsic right as long as they’re not harming themselves or others. And that entails the intrinsic right of refraining from sexual activity for any reason or no reason.

Thanks. And presumably this intrinsic right to sex trumps the rights of nature?

As in -- say the natural result of intercourse were to follow; if the couple so desired, they ought to be able to eliminate by starvation, poisoning, or dismemberment the natural result of their consensual actions?

I don't know where you're getting that bizarre nonsense. If two consenting adults, unmarried or married to each other, want to have sex together, nobody else should have any say in the matter, and certainly nobody else has any authority to tell them they can't. We certainly aren't going to be discussing criminal behavior in this forum.

Which is why I said as long as they’re not harming themselves or others. Come on. I know you like to get a rise out of people, but you’re smarter than that. You can try harder.

It sounds like he wants to compare notes, but I don’t kiss and tell.

He might also be attempting to compare abortion to plain-old infanticide, but I deliberately ignored that. The type of sex he’s most concerned about can’t create babies anyway.
