I don't understand how cc's conclusion follows from his premises. It seems like a distant relative of the "If we allow gay people to marry then people will be marrying farm animals soon." argument.
These arguments miss the point that humans are able to communicate and possibly reciprocate feelings. An emotional relationship where the stronger party is able and possibly even motivated to destroy the weaker party is not at all without precedent. See: Shahry?r and Scheherazade, some tellings of Beauty and the Beast, etc.
