Laws that restrict sexual habits that violate rights, like laws preventing adults from having sex with kids, or rape, will be perfectly legitimate.

how so if they are done in the privacy of our own homes ?

Please explain why my 16 year old daughter and I cannot have sex.

Please explain why my 16 year old daughter and I cannot have sex.

Please explain why you want to have sex with your sixteen year old daughter.

Personally, I'm not really worried if you have sex with your 17 year old daughter. It's sick and disgusting, but it's also not my problem (considering that 17 is within the legal age of consent in your area).

[Dead Corpse]

My daughter turned 16. She is by our state's law a consenting adult. She and i agree to have consenual sex. Our right to privacy trumps the state's right to forbid us.

You can't. While legally, she may be at the age of concent, she has not yet reached the age of majority. Until then, you are still the custodian of her Rights. Once she turns 18, she's all yours.

That's just plain icky even though I'm fairly certain you are bringing this straw-man up for illustrative purposes.

"Please explain why my 16 year old daughter and I cannot have sex."

You keep asking this question. That's disturbing. You _can_ have sex, I suppose, and as long as nobody finds out about it or your daughter does not feel abused, you won't be arrested. It happens all the time. It's a darned poor idea, though, and is, in fact, against the law. I advise that you stop doing it.

Please explain why my 16 year old daughter and I cannot have sex.

That's pretty vile. How about explaining why you want to?

'Cause in Texas your wife would shoot you and be no-billed by the grand jury?

Because your neighbors would shun you and businesses refuse to serve you were it to become known?

Because you'd be excommunicated by your church?

Seriously, if under the age of consent, it violates the child's rights as they're not capable of consenting, if over the age of consent, because the state has a compelling interest in preventing the types of disabilities prevalent in births from incestual sexual contacts.
