This lecture discusses key ideas from the Utilitarian philosopher, Jeremy Bentham's work, Offenses Against Oneself, a posthumously published part of his Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation.
Here we examine some of the arguments people make for prohibiting or punishing male-male sexual relationships and activity on the basis of it leading to a decline in population. These arguments upon consideration, turn out to be rather weak.
