My point is that you're using a subjective Eurocentric conception of sexual relations which isn't universally accepted. So you claim to be Native American, but you're thinking is entirely European or Western.
You haven't given a significant reason for following "contemporary" or "modern" conceptions of morality other then the argument that "everyone else is doing it," which is hardly a standard of ethics. If everyone thought genocide was acceptable, does that mean it creates moral obligations upon other cultures?
