ORIGINAL: BoiJen Assault and battery are classified as non-consentual crimes. When someone consents to them they are no longer a crime. That's my interpretation of the law...not everyone's. There is only one interpretation of the law that matters: that of the judicial branch. And, really, "hiring out", for instance, is technically pimping, and illegal. Of course, the law will probably only care if it's a stranger, but... Some people want to do castration play, some don't. There are women into nullification, as well. Both genders rarely go beyond fantasies when it comes to such things, AFAIK. But I don't see why it would be a problem for someone to ask, if they're sincere about it. We usually take for granted that people negotiate things, so why would we want them not to negotiate once they are into edgeplay and body modification? Seems paradoxical to me. quote:
And even in consent of this act (castration) it's still considered a medical procedure. Therefoe doing it with or without consent is practicing medicine without a lincense and therefore completely illegal. Who cares? It's an international forum. Laws vary. Each person is accountable to the law on an individual level, along with being accountable to the forum when they post things that might get the forum in trouble. If people act consentually, it doesn't matter much to me whether the law where they live deprives them of their freedom to do so. Laws that restrict human interactions are an all too common phenomenon, and I don't see anyone here criticizing the horrible idiot women who failed to comply with the laws of the oppressive Taliban regime, or those idiotic Texas women who have the audacity to own more than half a dozen sex toys in defiance of the law... Don't want to do it? Fine, tell them so. I don't get why this is a big deal. The main issue with it is that it's a high-risk activity if done without the proper medical equipment (i.e. in a hospital setting) and training (i.e. a surgical team), which bears a bit of debate. Then again, people engage in breath play, literal consensual slavery, and so forth, where we generally highlight the risk, rather than decry them as idiots. Calling them idiots is just bigotry.
