Sufficiently less than sufficient: consent, sex and moral behaviorConsent is a uniquely argued position in the philosophical analysis of moral and immoral behavior, particularly in regarding positions refuting the capacity for consent is sufficient to legitimize moral behavior. We must remain critical in our analysis of consent and how it may or may not legitimize moral behavior.

Moral behaviors rely on our ability to engage in various duties of virtue that take into account the happiness, respect, and well-being of others around us. Even if they may have consented or actively engaged in a free choice that led to situations of unhappiness and suffering, we must reflect on our ability to alleviate the discomfort of others and remain critical of theories strict and legitimate morals that limit the emotional value of humanity.
