    A Spider Robinson short story covers “is pederasty always wrong?” I think the topic was popular in American sci fi fandom in the late 20th century, Jerry Pournelle posted about it.

    Yud is more comfortable using his position in the community to discourage people from taking LSD than discourage them from screwing much younger people or violating BDSM protocols. He has written many times about how he wanted to be treated as a credentialed adult when he was a precocious teenager, and about the roles he likes to take in BDSM play. He does not seem keen on the idea that a community’s norms around high-risk behaviour will attract or repulse people who you really do not want in your community, he is more comfortable with asking “is LSD generally harmful to the individual person who uses it?”
