[Maximilian]

Do you think you have a civil right to have sexual relations with any consenting adult woman?

Absolutely not! I am a married man, and in many states it is still against the law to commit adultery -- even if the laws are rarely enforced, just like the laws against sodomy are rarely enforced. And even if it were legal, it would be preposterous to claim that it is a "civil right." It demeens the entire concept of "rights."

Maximilian replied, "Absolutely not! I am a married man,..."

Suppose you were unmarried? Would you then think you had a civil right to have sexual relations with any consenting adult woman?

If your answer is "no,"...do you think you have a civil right to have sexual relations with the woman to whom you are married?

Or, for example, do you think your state has the legitimate authority to pass a law against married men and women having sex, if those people already a child? (Sort of a Communist Chinese population control law...)

My lunch period is over. I'll have to continue this after work.
