 The Kantian problem of objectification cannot be easily solved. Arguing that there is no objectification because human beings have no special moral status from which they can be lowered (Soble 2002: 53–63) does not meet Kant on his own grounds (as Soble insists in 2017b). Claiming that parties to the sexual act normally consent to it (Mappes 1987), that objectification is okay as long as the relationship is respectful (Nussbaum 1995: esp. 227–231), or that sexual partners attend to each other’s sexual needs (Goldman 1977: 282–283; Singer 1984: 382) also do not solve the problem because none addresses the nature of sexual desire (Soble 2017b).
