摘要

人的行為錯綜複雜，而上帝無法管治的唯有人的腦袋與房事爾。人腦中的想法無論如何歧異，思想無罪；性事則不然，在傳統道德規範與現代法治規範的雙重夾制之下，上帝無法管治的房事竟也成了法律政策上所要加以規制的重要社會議題。對於性關係的約束原本應屬於道德層次的自律行為，在日益鬆動的人際社會關係之下，過往被視為道德義務的性關係在今日似乎已然過渡成為權利本位的他律行為，而必須由法律規範介入加以調控。本文首先敘說有關於性行為的若干社會文化之禁忌，再經由性與法之一般介述、性與罰之具體事例等綜合論辯性行為在法律上的諸多爭議論題（僅例舉：通姦、猥褻物品、色情影片…等三項議題），最後則就全文之論說與辯析提出結語，並期盼全文之分析與批判可以激發關切社會議題的理性精神。

Human behavior is incredibly complicated, and the only things that God cannot control are Human brain and sex. No matter how controversial the human thought, thinking itself is not guilty, but thinking about committing a crime is. Controlled by both traditional morality and modern rule of law, sex becomes an important social issue controlled by law policy. Restriction on sexual relation is actually attributed to the self-discipline on the level of morality. Sexual relation used to be seen as moral responsibility, but due to the gradually looser social human relation, it has nowadays transited to the discipline of others’ behavior based on Standard of Right due to the gradually looser social human relation. Thus, sexual relation ought to be intervened by normative law. By discussing the natural character and social myth of punishment function, this paper reasons disputed issues of sexual behavior and punishment, such as adultery, obscene products, pornography film, etc. Finally, a conclusion is offered based on the analysis and discussion. It is expected that the analysis and criticism can inspire the rational spirit toward the concern of social issue.
