Alan Soble responds to the great dilemmas presented by Immanuel Kant in his article “Sexual Use and What to Do About It.” Soble makes very strong points when he both agrees and disagrees with Kant in his article. The “sex problem” discussed by philosophers is a battle over what makes sex immoral and harmful to humanity. The root of body objectification and soliciting someone under false pretenses into sexual activity is seen as harmful to both the person doing the objectification and the person being objectified. Soble outlines “Kant's sexual problem” and Kant's solution, Soble also provides his own solutions, and from learning both I get the feeling that the solution is in externalism. Immanuel Kant defines his second formulation of the categorical imperative as knowing the worth of a person. It is humiliating to use a person without their consent for self-gratification, especially sexually. Kant describes this as using a person simply to serve a means rather than an end, in short rather than being a concrete act of love with the aim of creating a new sexual life treated only as “scratching an itch”. The idea that Kant "must take charge of the ends of the other for his own good, not because this is an effective way of advancing his own goals in using the other", is a way of saying that a man must worry enough of the way the other person treats treat them fairly and justly as they want to be treated (Soble 228). For Soble, the "Kantian sexual problem" is at the base: in sexual activity not all of Kant's needs can be satisfied, or not all of them can be satisfied. In explaining everything that falls within the second formulation of the categorical imperative, Kant describes the assumption of the ends of the other, but also what it means to make a person simply the end of one's own needs. Two people enter......in the center of paper......the sexual act can be considered similar to today's society. The idea of ​​sexual desire as a mutually born activity as part of marriage is the ideal, along with the consensual and disconnected use of the other for sex. Soble also presents valid solutions to “Kant's sexual problem,” but his solutions are simply ideas. There is no way to completely reform the sexual world. There will always be people out there who let their sexual desire override their mind and morals.
