Hey no worries, I know its all in the spirit of a good discussion. 

The only thing is, you might think that whatever happens behind close doors, as long as there is no one being forced to do what they don’t want to do, should be left out of the law. But the thing is, not everyone thinks like you. There are many people who like to use the same arguments used to justify drug consumption laws to tell other people that they also cannot do other things to their own bodies.

The reason why I have my position is because I believe that morality should be left out of the law altogether. The law should exist only to protect people from harms which they did not consent to. The problem is, I believe that a significant factor in our lawmaking process has little to do with harm prevention or minimisation, but more with morality
