Controversial Issues in Sexual Ethics 7.1. Autoerotic Sex 7.2. Homoerotic Sex 7.3. Heteroerotic Sex 8. Future Sexual Ethics 9. Postscript 2. Humean Chastity I begin with a passage from David Hume's An Enquiry Concerning the Principles Morals (1751): (All book references are on fair use, except as noted.) The long and helpless infancy man requires the combination parents for the subsistence their young; and that combination requires the virtue chastity or fidelity to the marriage bed. Without utility...such a virtue would never have been thought of. There are seven concepts at play here: 1. Childhood frailty (CF), 2. requirement heterosexual bonds (HB), 3. Co-parental duties to children (PD), 4. legitimacy sexual ethics (SE), 5. Empirical bifurcation (EB), 6. Sexual ethics is a matter conceptual analysis (SE-1), and 7. Sexual ethics is a matter empirical contingency (SE-2). I am assuming that Hume is using the extramarital sex taboo as an example representing sexual ethics in general. Childhood frailty is a biological fact about human beings. Empirical bifurcation is an underlying assumption here, and is an important tenet Hume's philosophy, that being that all judgments are either what he calls relations ideas (conceptual analysis) or relations (empirical contingency). argument then goes as follows: 1. CF 2. CF > PD 2. PD > HB 3. HB > SE 4. SE (as a subconclusion) 5. SE > (SE-1 or SE-2) (empirical bifurcation) 6. SE-1 or SE-2 (from 4. and 5.) 7. CF > ~SE-1 (to be explained) 8. ~SE-1 (from 1. and 7.) 9. SE-2 (from 6. and 8.) What Hume is saying here, first, is that childhood frailty is a contingent biological fact that, with the assumption the value the continuance human civilization, implies co-parental duties (i.e., both parents care for the child), the basis for co-parental duties are the sexual bonds between mother and father, and these bonds are secured by an ethic sexual exclusivity. Second, there is an underlying assumption empirical bifurcation. Since the legitimacy sexual ethics is, in part, based the contingent biological fact childhood frailty, then sexual ethics must be the second category--matters fact. Being, at least in part, a matter fact, sexual ethics as we know it cannot be purely a matter deduction based on self-evident principles (conceptual analysis), and, therefore, such a virtue would never have been thought of (i.e., the ethic sexual exclusivity in marriage would have never occurred to us, and so would never have been thought as a virtue, if it weren't for the biological fact human frailty.) Another way looking at it is to consider the reverse course reasoning. If we were a species that did not have childhood frailty--if human children were well-prepared for life without the long and continued care and protection their parents--then the heterosexual bonds fostered by sexual exclusivity would not be needed. And thus, the taboo extramarital sex will have lost its legitimacy. crucial point here is that sexual ethics cannot be understood or justified independent the biological facts and/or even the circumstances human existence. That is, to understand human sexual ethics, we must first understand who we are and what are the principles that govern human society. …" @default.
