So over time they will think its normal and keep doing it and even worse Another example Lets say i am a 83 year old man and i really want to marry a 12 year old boy and the boy and his parents want me to marry him also. Should we not be allowed? Were not hurting anyone? You change the laws for one group the rest of them come out of the woods. I don't want to live in a world were one can marry there blood relatives or pre Pubescents. The point im trying to make is society keeps chamging what is expectable. TO WHAT END?
Your not answering the question of why you should be the arbitrator of morality or even a majority of people should be. Why should you control what goes on in my life, even if I am going against a majority of what people believe.

Your example is moot. 12 year olds can't consent.
