i would want to clarify that what i was saying is drawn from Margaret Farley's book - Just Love- A Framework for Christian Sexual Ethics. https://www.amazon.com/Just-Love-Framework-Christian-Sexual/dp/0826429246/ref=sr_1_1?

i am really curious - what is a celibate love between a parent and child? isn't that parental love?

Again - i want to urge folks to clarify with people they disagree with, rather than put words in their mouth and also not to make conclusions when they don't get a reply. i did not say that as long as it is consensual and loving that there is nothing immoral about the act. It really hinges on what loving means.

Take for example a sexual incestuous relationship between parent and child. There is also at least one consideration beyond the two people involved - what about the other parent?

i do highly recommend you read Margaret Farley's book before you make strawmen out of the few statements i made. i cannot do justice to her book in a short (2 hour!) podcast.

u/rawleypawley: By coincidence, there's a BBC documentary mini-series "The Rise of the Murdoch Dynasty". (requires UK VPN)
..Episode 3 'The Comeback' = covers Murdoch's role in the US elections & the Brexit vote.

Extract/Synopsis: "This episode follows the story of Rupert Murdoch’s remarkable journey from ‘the most humble day’ of his life to arguably his most powerful moment and the final conclusion to the question of succession within his own family.

Following a huge scandal, Rupert cuts a lonely figure. His political allies have deserted him, his reputation is in tatters, his beloved mother passes away, and to add insult to injury, revelations come to light about his wife’s infatuation with one of his friends, ex-prime minister Tony Blair, contributing to the break-up of his second marriage. 

But Murdoch is tough - he feeds on conflict and revels in playing the underdog, a role he has cast himself in throughout his career. This film examines the source of his drive, determination and grit and the important influence of his father. 

==> When two political hopefuls approach Rupert for help, he senses opportunity, and Murdoch’s star begins to rise again. Murdoch’s involvement in the US elections and the Brexit vote sees political relevance return. Murdoch marries his third wife, Jerry Hall, putting himself firmly back at the centre of the power elite, and his amazing comeback nears completion. 

Murdoch’s empire is rocked by further scandals, but this time his sons intervene and the family pulls together. Then Murdoch surprises everyone with one final mega business deal worth 71 billion dollars and finally settles the burning question of which of his children will run the family business when he is gone. "

Which language or accent is "sexy" is mostly just cultural conditioning and media influence.

I know people who feel the French accent sounds vulgar, and not pleasant to their ears. They weren't exposed to Western media at all (their entire media diet was Bollywood and regional Indian stuff), and that most definitely played a part in how they judged accents. They didn't grow up with the implicit messaging from books and film that French is 'sexy'. American and British media consistently portrays French culture as sophisticated and refined, and the French accent signals sophistry and class, which people then classify as desirable and 'sexy'.

There's a pretty interesting (if rather dry and academic) book called Sum of Small Things: A Theory of the Aspirational Class, which touches upon how we subconsciously worship accents and mannerisms of people who are wealthier and more influential than us, and we then pick up these mannerisms simply to elevate ourselves from our peers. Worshiping 'sexy' accents, and criticizing our own local accents are a manifestation of this cultural cringe.
