Is it morally acceptable to make love to a walrus? I am a marine biologist and am in love.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

That depends upon a number of factors.
.
First, are you male or female, and are you gay or lesbian? This is important because trying to make love to a male walrus would be tantamount to suicide. Whether the walrus was more or less cooperative or not, you would be squashed. Suicide is not moral, at least not simply for lust. A male walrus weighs two tons and is not domesticated.

If you lust after a female walrus, that might be a little safer as they are somewhat smaller and less aggressive. Still, it would be pretty dangerous.

It would also be illegal in Canada and Russia. It might not be illegal in Greenland, which is a territory of Denmark. Breaking the law is generally considered immoral without much better reason than lust.

If you are Jewish, Christian, or Moslem it is against your religion and immoral. This might not apply to Reform Judaism or Unitarian Christians but they might consider it animal abuse.

The main argument that making love to a walrus is moral has to be that it would be entirely voluntary on the walrus's part. There is no way on earth you are going to make love to a walrus against its will.

I don't think any studies or surveys have yet been done to find out whether any walruses would like to make love to humans. Perhaps you could put in for a grant? If you try, you might cite the observations that ostriches are attracted to humans, so interspecies romance is not unheard of from the animal's point of view.

My personal recommendation would be to keep your relationship platonic. Perhaps send it a package of fish on St Valentine's Day and write sad poems about unrequited love.

"A mighty pain to love it is,
And 'tis a pain that pain to miss;
But of all pains, the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain."
Abraham Cowley

I don't actually use Wickipedia to research my answers, I just cite it so that people can read essays with the basic information. I actually know this sort of thing off the top of my head.

I can certainly understand why you submitted your question anonymously. If you, as a marine biologist, were to leak this to the scientific community, it would probably be your downfall. However, since you asked it here, let's see what we can do for you. How are the tusks? Manageable? You okay with the really pointy whiskers? If she (or he) gets annoyed, even a polar bear cannot take down a livid walrus, especially if she is surrounded by her group. This could be dangerous. How old is she? A walrus that is about human size would be pretty young - 5, maybe. That's not good. If she is of an appropriate age, could you satisfy her? You know what they say about the size of the male's member. Might be a stretch.

If she comes to you solo, does a back bend, you can get a grip and not drown, I think you stand a shot. It it morally wrong? If she consents - really consents - then only God can pass judgment on that one. Personally, I don't think so, and I hope this all helps in your time of great need.

I like your answer, too, Victoria! Too bad I can only vote for one. (On the bright side, I have a hard time seeing this getting many Google hits! I hope.)

only thing morally related that i can see about it, is that it would probably be rape.
