The latest round of the priest abuse cases, which is about younger-but-adult people being abused, shows a crack in the very philosophy behind the Sexual Revolution.
Not every act can be consented to.
At least not validly.
Yes does not mean yes when coercion of any sort is involved.
Yes does not mean yes when selfishness replaces love.
Yes does not mean yes when damage and pain is involved.
Yes does not mean yes when sex is perverted away from conception.
Yes does not mean yes when sex is over in a single night.
Basically, sex is supposed to be a part of something larger- a lifelong relationship that brings new life into existence and raises that new life to be a functional part of society.
Sexual revolution consent fails at the primary purpose of sex completely.
