There are some things built into the human brain. A conscience, an innate sense of right and wrong is not one of them. The first thing that forms I think Freud called the Id; I call it the pleasure principle. The Freudian model of a human mind consists of the Id, unrestrained search for some desire; the Ego which grows in strength until it controls the Id and makes it possible to live with other beings, and the Super Ego; called a conscience, a sense of right and wrong.
The Id is part and parcel of our personal fantasy world. The things and feelings we really want to do or experience but are constrained by laws, religion or society. Our Id set free to roam at will in imagination. Our inner happiness depends on how much of our fantasy world we can bring into reality without hurting our self or anyone else. Sexual impulses are the strongest force in the human mind and body. Nature made it so to insure reproduction. I'm reminded of the angry old lady who called the police to report a man exposing himself and masturbating. When the police couldn't see him, she explained "you have to climb this fence, go halfway up the ladder on this water tower and use these 20 power binoculars and there he is, plain as day and I'm offended." Actually both the unknown man and the old lady fulfilled their fantasy world, both were happy and no one got hurt. This is the way life should be - nobody hurt.
