	Thus, radical libertarianism not only embraces liberty but personal responsibility of children to look out for their own well-being. This implies that if children consensually engage in sexual acts that cause them harm, the other participant is not to be held criminally liable. Mary Ruwart's ''Short Answers to the Tough Questions'' states, "Children who willingly participate in sexual acts have the right to make that decision as well, even if it's distasteful to us personally.

	Libertarians embrace free markets and personal freedom, including sexual freedom. In principle, libertarians would support allowing sex between adults and children, certainly if it could be proven that children are competent to consent to sex, and possibly even without such proof of competence.
