LINK: As a general rule, I disapprove of everything Will Baude at Crescat Sententia has to say. I've found his completely unapologetic, without conditions advocacy for premarital sex to be especially annoying, as he does that annoying thing utilitarians sometimes do when they just wave off a concern a deontologist might have without even pretending to take it seriously... because we're all just sticks-in-the-mud, or we don't get how people actually work. We should just be prepared to slide along with everyone else on questions of morals. J.P. Carter, as usual, makes the substantive reply, with which I more or less totally agree.
Also, a snide remark, if I may:
"Furthermore, sex is a very important way of gaining knowledge about somebody..."
Did you ever consider the possibility of talking with her?
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
