Who's your Daddy?

[€uroMeinke]

I have to say I’m both amused and fascinated by this story, I can’t help but think back to the various Kinsey controversies. We don’t want to study human sexuality because we know we won’t live up to our standards.

I think it poses a curious ethical question. Is it better to acknowledge our actual sexual behavior – as unflattering as it may be? Or are we better, not discussing such things, and leaving the topic of sex firmly a taboo. In some ways it seems we’re victims to our own moral standards, if we can’t live up to them we lie about them or hide them. But is it even possible to get to a level of acceptance for certain sexual practices – such as extra-marital sex. Not to mention what downsides the acceptance might have to our individual relationships.

I’m curious, if you found yourself in the middle of a “paternal discrepancy” how would you like the situation handled?
