Hypothetically speaking if I a 18 year old man paid a 48 year old woman to have sex with me and I wear a condom and we both consented to it is that morally wrong or is it morally okay?
In my opinion I think it’s morally okay if a 18 year old man pays a 48 year old woman to have sex with him as long as they are both consenting to it. Because what they’re doing is completely harmless.
I think it’s flawed to say that something is moral if it is legal and vice versa.
True which is why I personally don’t get my morals from the law. I considered everything to be morally neutral to me unless I’m given a legitimate reason is to why a particular thing is morally wrong.
For example I believe pedophilia is morally wrong because a prepubescent child 13 and under does not know the long term social ramifications of having sex with someone. A prepubescent child that is 13 and under can not informly consent to having sex with someone.
But I do believe that most 16 years old do know the long term social ramifications of having sex with someone. They know that if they have unprotected sex they could get a std or get pregnant. Which is why it’s morally okay in my opinion for a 16-year-old to have sex with a 21 year old as long as the 16-year-old is consenting to it and the 21 year old is not authority figure. Because what they’re doing is completely harmless
