Ethics professor's advice on paedophilia: not wrong to have sex with one-year-olds
Published 6 February 2022 at 01.39
EXCERPT. It is "hard to see" that it would be wrong to have sex with one-year-old children, argues an American professor of philosophy and ethics, who also sees no problem with forcing children to have sex. Now he is being suspended from teaching after videos of his statements went viral online.

A child's life consists of "doing things solely for the pleasure of the adult," Stephen Kershnar believes.

On Wednesday, the Twitter account Libs of Tik Tok drew attention to a series of controversial statements made by Stephen Kershnar, a professor of philosophy and applied ethics at SUNY Fredonia University in New York, in two video interviews previously published online.

In the interviews, Kershnar argues that adults should be allowed to have sex with children.

- There are good reasons to believe that there are great benefits to sex between adults and children," he says.

The benefits of paedophilia are evolutionary in nature, says the professor, who believes that sex between adults and children can strengthen family cohesion and prepare children for long-term relationships.

There should be no specific limit on how young children adults can have sex with, Kershnar believes.

- The idea that it would be wrong even with a one-year-old is not entirely obvious to me, Kershnar says, continuing:

- There are reports that in some cultures, grandmothers suck babies to soothe them when they have colic.

If that information is true, it's "hard to see anything wrong with it," says the controversial academic, who thinks it's an argument against having any age limit.


Forcing children to have sex is unproblematic, according to Kershnar, because adults force children to do other things they don't want to do anyway:

- We force children to do all sorts of things they don't want to do. We force them to go to church, to synagogue, to school, to the dentist, to their sister's ballet recital and we don't care what they think.

When the interviewer tells Kershnar that a child's life "consists only of doing things for the pleasure of the adult," Kershnar responds:
- That is absolutely correct.
The fact that children do not fully understand the meaning of sex is also unproblematic, Kershner argues, pointing out that children still participate in many activities that they do not understand. He cites an example from his own culture, namely the Jewish Bar Mitzvah ritual. Children don't understand the full meaning of the ceremony, but participate in it anyway. So the argument that children shouldn't have sex because they don't understand what it is doesn't hold water, the professor argues.

After Kershner's remarks were widely circulated online and covered by the New York Post and others, his employer, SUNY Fredonia University, announced on Thursday that Kershner's remarks are being investigated and that he will not be allowed on university premises or have any contact with students until further notice.

The university's presentation of Kershner states that he has authored numerous articles and other writings on topics including abortion, sex between children and adults, pornography, punishment, sexual fantasies, slavery and torture.
