>bestiality (assuming consenting animals)...
 
By definition, a non-sapient animal can not give informed consent to
anything. Bestiality is animal abuse.
 
>sex with children (assuming consenting children)...
 
Likewise. A six-year-old is not capable of giving "informed consent"
to something of this nature, and in any event (1) most child molestors
don't ask for permission first and (2) children are not physically
developed to the point where they are capable of sexual behavior. Child
molestation is a particularly savage form of rape.
 
>What would you do if a man gave you "that look"...
 
As long as that's /all/ he did, absolutely nothing. He's not affecting
me in any way. My feelings would neither be good nor bad; I wouldn't
waste my time worrying about it. I am secure enough in my own sexuality
that it simply wouldn't bother me. On the other hand, I wouldn't /sleep/
with him, either. There is a difference between another person's thought
and his action.
