What if my idea of "fit" is considered child pornography? Or what if it is domination? I know that there are currently laws that forbid those types of actions - which are illegal. But if these things aren't considered obscene because we can choose whether or not to view them, then it is a slippery slope to legalizing them.
Lucy: First off, as someone who has a lot of friends who are into D/s in the bedroom, please tread lightly when using "child pornography" and "dominance" in the same example. This is a basic idea of consent. Children cannot consent in any meaningful way to sexual conduct. Adults, however, can, and should feel free to have as much fun as they want with another consenting adult. These two ideas aren't even remotely related and a lot of people would be insulted to see them grouped together.
