3. People have seen what happened with homosexuality and they think, “Why not us?”. Plus, the sexual revolution was a lot more wild than people think if you read about the 1960s/1970s—it’s just we can’t imagine how wild our parents were.

Very intelligent people are often pathologically ideological. Many otherwise smart people I know are your typical SocJus types when you get them started on certain political subject matter

I understand the argument that homosexuality used to be seen with revolt but the fact remains that there are clear bio-psychological changes that occur during puberty that are near-impossible to ignore.

Ephebophilia can at least be biologically warranted, if not socio-psychologically

The problem with his line is that people will deploy exactly the same argument they did with homosexuality. How are you making a normative claim from a biological fact? Is anal sex “biologically warranted”? You need natural law to make this move, in which most do not believe.

Puberty, the onset of erections and ovulation, is as natural a biological law as it gets, barring birth and death. I stand by this.

It’s a biological law. But the problem, as Hume stated, is that no “is” implies an ought. What’s the anus “for”? Humans can choose to use objects in different ways. Biology doesn’t tell us what’s right in this regard, just what is.

There are various evo-psych and evo-bio theories for anal sex. I'm no expert but prostate stimulation seems to suggest that men are designed for penetration, very possibly vindicating homosexual partnerships/sexuality. As for women & anal sex? Not entirely sure, tbh

These are facts about the world that don’t tell us if the actions are wrong or right (if there even are such things). What I’m going to say is condescending & arrogant, but you need to look at a primer on the philosophy of science and/or ethics to understand the issue.

Thanks for assuming my opinion could only be uneducated

You’re intelligent and probably well educated, but not everyone can know everything—although I like to think I do. On this issue, it’s beyond me to explain the fact/value divide in tweets. Ultimately, it’s a question of whether there’s a telos or not.
