Relation of others: interactive; treat other as a person. Mind and body: determined; psychological laws; physical laws. Relation of others: objective; treat other as a thing. Overview: enjoyment: sexual impulse is unique: turns one person into an object for another"s, sexual desire is objectifying: treats other as a thing, aims at sex not at person, needs to be controlled: modesty & marriage.

Kant"s argument: control continue the species without demoralization.
