Men and women alike make cracks, sometimes, about the IQ level in the dating (and sex) pool. But is there an IQ too low for sex?
In the case of one man in the UK, the court says yes.
Alan is considered by the Court of Protection to be “seriously challenged in all aspects of his mental functionality.” While living in a home provided by the council, he began having sex with a male roommate named Kieron. Though no police action was taken, reports tell of Alan making sexual gestures at children.
Alan met with a psychiatrist and it was discovered Alan believes babies come from storks, or are found under bushes, and sex gives you the measles.
The council dubbed Alan's "vigorous sex drive" inappropriate, and have put him under close supervision to ensure that the only sex he has is with himself. However, presiding judge Justice Moyston ruled that Alan should be taught sex ed. If, when his sex education is completed, Alan demonstrates a better understanding of procreation and sexual health, he'll be allowed to begin having sex again. The judge admitted the case raised questions about “civil liberties and personal autonomy.”
