Sexual Rights

The authors of this book believe that the evolution of sexuality requires the development of certain legal rules on the part of the world's States to prevent and not only cure certain perverse behaviours encountered in this field. However, public order takes precedence over any sexual or commercial freedom, even if it is aimed at achieving the general interest assigned to the State and its constituent parts. A certain challenge to national legislation to take measures against deviant sexual behaviour such as necrophilia, gerontophilia, zoophilia, homosexuality, masochism or voyeurism, without neglecting other sexual behaviour of the same nature; these encourage States to adopt up-to-date penal sexual legislation. As a reminder, in sexual matters, state non-interventionism is the principle, and interventionism can only be acceptable in exceptional cases. In other words, sexuality is based on a principle of freedom, framed by a certain number of limits, the sole objective of which is to prevent the sexual act from harming others.
