The ethical dimension of erotic self-education and development ethics

Abstract

The ethical dimension of sexual education can referred to morality, religion and the ethos of life. Morality and religion exert pressure on certain behavior patterns. "Ethical eroticism" in relation to the theory of Development ethics implies a positive integration of sexuality with the ethos of life. "Ethical eroticism" in this area is not identical to sexual morality. Sexual morality is an external element as comprehended by a person, while "ethical eroticism" based on the ethos of life expresses a person's moral subjectivity. In the principles of development ethics, the emphasis is shifted to individual development, which is the reason for propounding the postulate of erotic self-education.
