Abstract
In this essay I explore the idea of whether there are sexual duties to others and what the source of such duties might be. I provide reasons for thinking that such duties exist (there might even be, ironically, a Christian sexual duty, flowing from the nature of agape). I also explore whether there are supererogatory sexual actions — sexual actions that go beyond the demands of duty. I begin with a personal example of having had sex with a woman in graduate school out of moral duty —at least what I thought at the time was my moral duty. I end by addressing numerous factors that can exist in such types of cases, showing how intricate and complex our thinking about these issues should be.
