Ignoring the strawinfant, do you think sex between consenting adults who are not married to be morally wrong?

What's the strawinfant and why are you ignoring it?
Perhaps cherry picking would have been a more appropriate description.

Bonobo's don't have a penal code nor prisons and sex between consenting human adults in private is not illegal in most places, sex with an infant is.

Infant rape is already happening in highly sexualized cultures like South Africa and sexually repressive cultures like India.

I'm basically saying this thread is about humans I'm guessing.  You're asking are bonobos doing it wrong and presenting links with titles about how we can learn from bonobos.

I don't think we would be behaving morally correctly by adopting bonobo behavior.

I wasn't suggesting a whole sale culture swap. Tongue
And did you read the articles?
