Summary/Abstract: Sexual activity, like any other human activities, is multiple and diversified, including people who can not imagine sex but within its reproductive dimension as part of a marriage and people who embrace libertinage as a way of living. Some people prefer partners of the same sex, others can not find pleasure but with the opposite sex. Sex and love are not to be dissociated for some people, others turn sexuality into a gainful activity. A just settlement of the sexual activity should bracket the different meanings each individual assigns to his erotic life. Thus, law reduces its intervention to two principles: individuals’ consent and lack of damages for the partner.
