Ross Douthat, the kind of guy who eats moral relativists for breakfast, breakfast I tell you, spends 750 words describing the torture debate without taking a position, since he can't do that in less than 3000 words and a series of blog posts. He does however, believe that it "makes adaptive sense for women to have a certain amount of difficulty having orgasms," because then they won't be such wanton harlots. If only torture was as clear-cut a moral wrong as women choosing to have sex for pleasure.
