BESTIALITY
is sexual contact between human and non-human animals for the purpose of human
sexual gratification.

MORALITY
I'd want to start off by discussing the ethics of bestiality. I should probably state up front
that I do not practice any kind of bestiality. I pursue this topic only for investigation and
to satisfy my intellectual curiosity; I am not at all derived to animals. In considering the
fact that millions of animals are killed by humans every day for food, I find it impossible
to rationally defend society's contempt for people who find sexual pleasure in having sex
with animals. I can't think of anything negative that comes from the act, except than
revulsion. It is commonly accepted that doing anything that disgusts people is not
immoral (mostly because there are so many different things that individuals find
repulsive). Unfortunately, secular law provided no further assistance. This included
"unnatural" sexual acts like masturbation, homosexuality, and bestiality. The Church was
unable to make meaningful distinctions between sexual acts that were acceptable and
unacceptable because, as the saying goes, "the devil is in the details." Henry VIII's reign
saw the first secular state outlaw bestiality. As the "detestable and abominable vice of
buggery committed with mankind or beast," having intercourse with an animal was
forbidden. Nearly 500 years later, terminology like "buggery," "abominable,"
"detestable," and "deviant sexual acts" are still found in state laws.

POLITICAL
Since the beginning of written legal codes, there have been laws that penalize people for
having intercourse with nonhuman animals. Bestiality has always been forbidden in the
US. Animal rights and welfare concerns, moral outrage, and, most recently, the link
between animal abuse and interpersonal violence—also referred to as the "Link"—have
all been used as justifications for the criminalization of sex acts with animals. The history
and present status of bestiality law in the US are examined in this article.
SOCIAL ISSUES
Among all aspects of human sexuality, bestiality could be the most hated and least
comprehended. Legal rules dating back to ancient times have prohibited having
intercourse with nonhuman creatures. In contrast to other problematic sexual conduct,
there has been relatively little research on bestiality. There are still unanswered basic
concerns about the lifelong incidence of human-animal sexual activity, the reasons people
have sex with animals, and the connection between bestiality and mental health and
illness. There is a lack of research examining the connection between bestiality and
harmful sexual behaviors such as interpersonal violence from the standpoint of forensic
mental health. Research populations that are siloes have historically prevented findings
from being applied to larger society. This chapter provides an overview of what is
currently known about bestiality, including the small amount of forensically relevant
research as well as fundamental epidemiology and mental health aspects. It also examines
how bestiality is now treated legally in the US and other countries.
2. RAPE
the crime, typically committed by a man, of forcing another person to have sexual
intercourse with the offender against their will.
MORALITY
"Rape is always wrong." This principle holds true regardless of the setting in which it is
committed. The fact that the prohibition against rape is absolute might be justified for a
number of reasons. First of all, since humans must use reason to make every decision,
rape is a moral problem in society (McGregor, 2017). Essentially, a rapist acts
inhumanely and unbearably because they do not care about the victim's well-being.
Various ethical theories also support the social norm that forbids rape. From a utilitarian
perspective, for example, it is clear that morality exists when people engage in behaviors
that benefit the entire community. Rape, therefore, transgresses the core principles of
morality and ethics (McGregor, 2017). Furthermore, I think that rape is strongly
condoned and that all cultural manifestations around the world have strict penalties for
the crime. Therefore, it is impossible to dispute the absolute essence of "Rape is wrong."
POLITICAL
Rape is the nation’s most underreported violent crime, according to U.S. Justice
Department statistics, as survivors fear that juries will believe the perpetrators, not them,
and if they pursue justice, they may suffer further physical, economic, or social harm.
This stacked deck, also referred to as "rape culture," is the collection of societal views
regarding sexual assault that cause victims to be viewed with distrust and even animosity,
while perpetrators are given empathy and credibility that isn't given to those accused of
other serious crimes, like armed robbery. In a series of tests, participants were given
specific information about rape cases, such as the race of the perpetrators and survivors,
the victim's history of sexual activity, the perpetrator's socioeconomic status and
relationship to the victim, the location of the crime, and the victim's clothing. These
details are known to have the potential to set off four major components of rape bias:
victim blaming, assuming the victim's consent, victim blaming, and doubting the victim's
credibility.
SOCIAL ISSUES
Research on college students also reveals a high rate of sexual assault and rape.
According to anonymous studies, 20–30% of female students say they have experienced
sexual assault or rape (including attempts), frequently at the hands of a male student they
knew previously (Fisher, Cullen, & Turner, 2000; Gross, Winslett, Roberts, & Gohm,
2006). On a campus with 10,000 students, five of whom are female, this means that over
the course of four years, or roughly ten times a week during the academic year, 1,000–
1,500 women will be sexually attacked or raped.
INCEST
sexual relations between people classed as being too closely related to marry each other.
MORALITY
We might look at some studies on the psychological basis of incest aversion to start
investigating the problem. Now, from a gene's eye perspective, incest ought to be a
desirable tactic. This is because of the way that sexual reproduction functions: if you
mated with a complete sibling, your children would inherit 75% of your DNA from your
lineage, as opposed to the 50% you would expect if you mated with an unknown person.
After a few generations, you would have adults giving birth to children that were
basically genetic clones if those hyper-related siblings had mated with one another.
Nonetheless, it seems that this kind of inbreeding has a lot of potentially negative effects.
Here are two possible explanations for why inbreeding isn't a more often used tactic,
without getting into too much detail: First, it raises the likelihood that two detrimental but
otherwise uncommon recessive alleles would align with one another. This usually leads
to a host of unpleasant developmental issues that are detrimental to one's fitness.
POLITICAL
A sexual relationship between two members of the same family who are closely related is
called incest. The two can't legally be married because of how close they are to one
another. Incest laws restricted personal connections between siblings, grandparents, and
children in the United States. Adult-to-adult incest is illegal in almost every state.
Intimate relationships between aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins are likewise
forbidden in several places. State laws also differ with relation to adopted relatives, half-
relatives, and step-relatives. States also enact minimum age requirements for marriage in
an effort to discourage child marriage, which may also assist avoid incestuous unions.
Adult incest is permitted in the states of New Jersey and Rhode Island. However,
marriage is illegal in both states. Every partner in a relationship in New Jersey needs to
be at least eighteen years old. The legal age of consent in Rhode Island is sixteen.
Delaware imposes the lowest possible maximum punishment of one year for an incest
conviction. Most states have five- to fifteen-year maximum punishments. Nevada,
Montana, Idaho, and Kentucky have the worst punishments. A person could receive a
maximum sentence of life in prison in these states.
SOCIAL ISSUES
Incest is a Social Problem, This typically manifests as a youngster or adolescent being
sexually abused by an older family member. Because society ignores the possibility that a
person who is meant to uplift us, educate us how to be mothers, and be a sympathetic ear
could ever harm a child sexually, incest committed by a female (mother) is often seen as
false. Because society is in denial, incest against females by females has exacerbated the
social issue of incest. Since many people think that incest is a one-time occurrence and
that the person who commits it feels bad and doesn't do it again, the social issue of incest
has not yet been addressed as an ongoing problem.
HOMOSEXUALITY
refers to attraction between people who are the same sex. It comes from the Greek word
homos, meaning “the same.” It is a sexual orientation, as opposed to a gender identity
such as male, female, and non-binary.
MORALITY
It has been said that homosexuality is a mental disorder, immoral, and a social outcast.
According to Kohlberg's view, one's moral development will determine how they
understand the morality of homosexuality. A survey asking about the church's stance on
homosexuality was answered by ten congregations in the Raleigh, North Carolina, area.
In particular, inquiries were made to determine the moral progress of the church. The
rights of LGBTQ+ people have been safeguarded by laws and policies implemented in
numerous nations. These rights include the freedom to marry, adopt children, and obtain
healthcare without fear of prejudice or mistreatment. A lot of mental health specialists
have also acknowledged that homosexuality is not a mental illness and have spoken out
against "conversion therapy," which tries to change a person's sexual orientation. It is
significant to highlight that there is a broad spectrum of attitudes and opinions regarding
homosexuality, and it is up to people and communities to make their own decisions
concerning this matter. As professionals, we have a responsibility to respect people's
diversity of opinions and ideas and to work toward fostering inclusive and encouraging
settings for everyone, including LGBTQ+ people.
POLITICAL
Regarding the difficulties women face, the majority of Americans believe that women
still face barriers that make it harder for them to succeed than for males. Though the
political separation is larger than the gender gap, opinions regarding the challenges faced
by women are divided along gender lines. As opposed to just 24% who believe society
should discourage homosexuality, seven out of 10 now believe it should be welcomed.
Sayings that homosexuality should be tolerated by society have increased by 7 percentage
points over the last year and by 19 points over the previous eleven years. Public support
for same-sex marriage has increased in tandem with growing acceptance of
homosexuality. Currently, 62% of Americans think they are in favor of allowing
homosexuals and lesbians to get married legally. All ideological and demographic
groupings now accept homosexuality more than ever before, although Democrats
continue to be more inclined than Republicans to believe that society should embrace
homosexuality.
SOCIAL ISSUES
LGBT people are not allowed to marry members of the same sex in the Philippines.
Adoption by an individual who identifies as LGBT is permitted, however adoption by a
domestic couple is not. Legislation against discrimination was ranked by Dialogue
participants as being more important than support for same-sex marriage. Survey results
showed that 73% of Filipinos surveyed view homosexuality as acceptable, as do 81% of
Australians, but only about 9% of Indonesians agree on the matter of acceptance (Pew
Research Center, 2020). The responses reveal various human rights issues that LGBTQ
children face, including: violence in the homes, discriminatory school policies and
practices, bullying and harassment, and lack of ac- cess to health services.
