This is not just fun, this is S&M fun

BDSM
So - consenting adults - do we have a right to tie one another up and indulge activites that are illegal in this country.
Regardless of my own involvement, or lack of involvement, when I did a course on Philophy at university, BDSM came up. Can two consenting adults consent to actual bodily harm?
Boxing - yes.
Tattooing - yes.
Circumcision of babies...
of adults...
BDSM?

Ah, the last is sexual, the first is sport, second art or self-indulgence [and involves, usually, transerence of currency], the third and fourth either medical or religious...
Sexual is pure choice of two people - isn't it?

Vulnerable adults need to be protected- granted. But at the same time, the 'english vice' of BDSM should not be ilegal if no-one who is not consenting is involved...
should it?

The lawstates that violence that is actual bodily arm is cruelty and unpredictably dangerous. Isn't boxing as well and therefore more dangerous as we encourage people to watch, and even charge for such spectacles?

So - I've not been typing for a while - the phrase been a bit tied up springs to mind...
