| Just Ask: Acting Responsibly | |
|
All acts of pleasure are sacred blessings to humanity, baring only
those acts that harm oneself or others. "With eight words the law
fulfilled: 'An it harm none, do as thou will'" is, obviously, not a
mandate to act injuriously, criminally, or irresponsibly: all such
behaviors harm others and oneself, and thus are not behaviors that
fall within the Rede.
Sexuality is a blessing from the Gods. With the Lady's and Lord's blessings come responsibility. To gain pleasure at the expense of another's non-consenting pain is the highest of blasphemies. There are default rules that apply to sexuality, which center around respect, consent, and mutual desires. The violation of any other person's will is intolerable. When that violation includes sexual conduct or contact, it is not just inexcusable: IT IS A CRIME!
