There are libertarians who think that way. There are libertarians who act as if it is perfectly normal for people to be having sex with their own small children too. It definitely fits into the libertarian worldview like a hand in a glove. “What, you want to deny us this with the hand of the almighty state? You authoritarians!”

Libertarianism is a Utopian dream that can never be realized while civilization exists

Gratuitous bullshit.

Your absurd caricature of libertarianism is of course absurd. You intended it to be.

But you have positioned your fictional libertarian position so far outside reality that it loses as force of argument.

Let me put it to you this way: I know of self-styled Christians who also think it right and proper for them to have sex with children. Would it then be reasonable or meaningful for me to ascribe that aberrant belief to Christians in general? I am quite sure you would object, despite their insistence that they were following the command of Almighty God, who is beyond question.

Similarly, although you might find an aberrant individual asserting the right to have sex with children, and that person self-identifies as a libertarian, you have no basis whatsoever to ascribe his deviancy to all libertarians.

Again, I accuse you of setting up an absurd sort of libertarianism to attack. Of course, you are free to do so... but you shouldn’t expect too many people to pay you much mind.
