- Sexual ethics; Kantian ethics
- Marriage is a relationship founded on duty and promise-keeping
- The husband and wife are giving each other the rights to each others bodies
- Sex within relationship
- Must not just be in order to use another person
- The whole purpose of marriage is not procreation
- IT IS the union of two people in a equal partnership
- By applying the categorical imperative to pre-marital and extra-marital sex, it is clear that this cannot be universalised
- Sex must be part of a relationship between equals and not based on lust or desire
- As soon as someone is an object of someone else's lust, they are being used as a means to an end.
- Kant might allow couples living together if they make an unconditional promise to each other
