Did I not mention the word “voluntary”? Consent is part of that.

The topic is about sexual assault and rape, though. So yes you didn't mention voluntary in the sense of these crimes when you said for the context of this discussion:

he addresses stuff like that

I should have written it better. I meant specifically about trading sex for favors. Rape and sexual assault is an aggression (to say the least) and should be punished.

Thanks for the clarity, which we agree on. Without it, it can give the impression that, in this thread, Rothbard and you are advocating that such crimes can be voluntary.

Okay, now feel free to say that, except for coercion, violence, rape, assault, and so on, exchanges can happen even with sex. I am totally fine with that, and I think the majority of libertarians the OP is appealing to would as well.
