Taboo Scenario 5: The Chicken
A man goes to his local grocery store once a week and buys a frozen chicken. But before cooking and eating the chicken, he has sexual intercourse with it. Then he cooks it and eats it. He never tells anyone about what he does, never regrets it and never shows any ill effects from behaving this way. He remains an upstanding member of his community. Is anyone harmed by this man's sexual activities with a chicken (assume there are no ethical problems with meat eating!)?No
Would it bother you to see this man having sex with a chicken?Oh yes, it most definitely would.
How do you judge this man's actions (assume there are no ethical problems with meat eating!)?I had to say not wrong at all, or at least no worse wrong than other methods of self stimulation, which I don't believe to be morally wrong. Now, if the bastard feeds me the chicken, that is a different thing altogether.
Should his poultry lovin' be prevented (assuming we know about it) or should he be punished for it? [Note: if you think that either or both of these things should occur then you should answer 'Yes'; only answer 'No', if you think neither of these things should occur.]Since it isn't technically wrong, at least as long as he doesn't feed it to anyone else without letting them know, he should not be punished. However, I certainly don't hold people not wanting to go to his house for dinner to be punishment.
Suppose you learn about two foreign countries. In one country, it is normal for people to have secret sex with dead chickens. In the other, people don't in the normal course of events have intercourse with frozen poultry. Are both these customs okay morally speaking or is one of them bad and morally wrong?From a moral point of view, both are ok. However, I would be deeply disturbed to find out that an entire nation of frozen chicken fuckers existed. That is the end of the test. I would welcome any comments on any of my thinking on these scenarios. I have to say though, that I fear the google hits I might get from this last one...

The chicken one really stopped me dead in my tracks as well. There are many moral and ethical questions there. If you belive that souls exist - would the chicken have one? would the chicken be offended by being the victim of sexual abuse and then eating?
I personally belive that dead things are, well, dead. So there would be no harm (other then squeamishness) in a person taking libertys with a frozen, dead chicken and then eating it.
That does bring up another point - if it's frozen, what about possible harm to the person preforming the act of love upon the chicken? What if his (very) naughty parts get frostbite, or cut upon the frozen hardness of the chicken's innards? Would that be consitered harm, or simply karmic payback?
Things that make you go Hmmm....
I apparently didn't spend as much time as you visualizing the exact methods, or considering the dangers of frostbite.
Perhaps he defrosted his chicken first?
Well, I think that's about as much as I want to consider this scenario...
Dave,
Congratulations in advance in the boost to your daily visits!
I really am a sick little puppy...
