Unnatural as a Category in Sexual Ethics
Original language description
The aim of the text is to provide a description as well as a philosophical analysis of the possible meanings of the words "natural" and "unnatural" in sexual ethics. All the "unnatural" acts are seen in the light of three distinctive levels of the term ethics: manners , morality and ethics. Morality is mainly focussed on, and four possible moral views of sexual conduct are taken into account: traditionalistic, romantic, Marxist-feminist and liberal view. Based on these four approaches to the ethics of sexuality and putting aside all moralising based on the universalization of one particular idea of an individual, four possible meanings of "unnatural" can be considered: comparison with animals, the usage of body organs in an inappropriate way, the unconventionality of certain acts and finally an innate desire-based behaviour. The validity of these meanings is then analysed and in conclusion the suggestion is made that the general reason for calling certain acts "unnatural" in sexual ethics is merely a visceral distaste for certain activities.
