I never mentioned force. I just mean that as a grown man he is free to choose his behavior. Regardless of preference, morality isn't subjective and truth can be discerned. We all have free will to do as we please.

morality isn't subjective

It isn't? The only thing that matters is action? What people see you doing? Internal reflection, motivation and thought play no role in morality? I disagree -- A portion of morality is the subjective workings of the mind.

For example, to tell the truth to someone with the sole intent to cause emotional harm to that person is acting immorally. Subjective intent matters.
