If one is entitled not only to unlimited privacy of sexual behavior in the home, but protection for sexuality as a whole, then there are ZERO grounds for state regulation of morally repugnant behaviors like statutory rape

Not so, Derek, other rights, such as the state's interest in protecting the welfare of minors, may be held to trump the right of privacy. Ditto for assaults of any kind.

It will become more difficult to regulate behavior between consenting adults, however, which has implications for the incest laws (or might if anyone was pushing to change them) and for legalization of prostitution.
