(26,549 posts)They are adult women. They have agency. They have the ability to consent to everything from a car loan to sex. If they have suffered psychological trauma, they have the ability to seek care for that trauma.
You seem to be arguing that they are not adults. They must be protected like children from the evils of the world, because you don't seem to think they can do so on their own.
More to the point, who doesn't have a distorted idea of what human sexuality is? Human sexuality is only a means by which we make more humans. Everything else we attach to it is a distortion.
Our tendency to require long-term pair-bonding is a relatively recently-developed distortion. Sexy clothing is a distortion. Making breakfast the next morning is a distortion. Sado-masochism is a distortion. Birth control is a distortion. Whipped cream is a distortion. Selling sex is a distortion. Sex toys are distortions.
It's not up to me to decide what distortions other consenting adults can engage in. No matter what their life story. They're adults, they get to choose for themselves, even if I think it's the wrong choice.
