The Myth of Consensual Sex

THE MYTH OF "CONSENSUAL" SEX I CONSENT I CONSENT Human nature is thereby sacrificed to sex. If then a man wishes to satisfy his desire, and a woman hers, they stimulate each other's desire; their inclinations meet, but their object is not human nature but sex, and each of them dishonors the human nature of the other. ISN'T THERE SOMEBODY YOU FORGOT TO ASK?

A smiling couple in bed both say “I CONSENT,” while an image of Immanuel Kant delivers a philosophical passage arguing that sex can dishonor human nature. The punchline is that the couple forgot to ask whether human nature itself consents, parodying overly abstract philosophical objections to consensual sex. It is shared as an absurd, intellectual reaction to moralizing or needlessly complicated arguments.
