That wasn't the point I was making. I commonly hear the argument "You can't help who you're attracted to!" clause used around here whenever someone wants to justifiy homosexuality. All right. Fine. Whatever. But by the same extension, pedophilia/incest/bestiality/any other type of sexual behavior which is considered taboo should also be justified under the same rationale. What's to say they don't feel any less to attracted to the people/things they are than you are attracted to the people/things you are? Nothing! Why is it that "You can't help who you're attracted to" is only acceptable when you think it is?
Anywho, "Consent" is an irrelevant concept simply because society has set up arbitrary numbers dictating at what age someone can and can't give willing consent. It doesn't mean anything in the natural sense.
