Partly, but mainly because it is an act to which both involved parties consent. Just like when a willing seller sells gum to a willing buyer. Should I jail the buyer because his advertising campaign tricked the poor, little children into making the purchase?

If that is true, then i would say there are some things that are just so morally wrong that they just shouldn't happen. Murder, stealing, rape, etc... All fall under this category.

No, they don't, because all of those are acts against a person WITHOUT CONSENT.

I think society has a lot of stupid prejudices and assumptions. In fact, I would go as far as to say that our society is mostly completely fucking stupid.

Since most of society agrees with this we have a law to keep those we feel are breaking a moral standard.

It's nice to see you explaining how laws get passed, but "what the majority support" does not equal "what is right."
