There are some things you should sexually embrace with both hands. Someone offers you a threesome and you've never done one? Go for it! Someone wants to have sex with you outside and that's a new thing, why not try it out? Does someone want to play with food in the bedroom? Combining sex with dinner time is just plain smart!
There are other things however that push things a little too far, things you can't consent to, and shouldn't. Here are a few to watch out for.
The extreme – you can never, and should never, consent to death!
If you accidentally kill someone whilst having sex, they can never have consented to it! This is an extreme example, and is very unlikely to happen! You cannot consent to have yourself killed. I think that this is just so that a killer can never raise the defence of “they agreed to it” especially since we still hold euthanasia as illegal in this county. So no killing your parter during sex, Zena On-A-Top from James Bond was definitely a murderer!
You cannot consent to actual or grievous bodily harm
In theory you cannot consent to actual or grievous bodily harm. This is for policy reasons, the government don’t want to encourage people to have fights in the streets! This extends to the bedroom as well. This means that if you are involved in anything kinky at all, then depending on what that is, you cannot consent to it. So where is the line, what can you do or not do? Well there was a guy called Emmett (like Emmett brown from Back to the Future) who put a plastic bag on his fiancee’s head, then poured lighter fluid all over her breasts and set fire to her. Talk about turning up the heat in the bedroom!! This was not okay in the eyes of the law, even though she had consented to it, they said you canot consent to this.
What can you consent to in the bedroom
The most extreme case I could find, was a Mr and Mrs Wilson. Mr Wilson branded his initials onto his wifes bum using a hot knife… wow that must have been painful. The English courts held that this was no different to getting a tattoo, so this was considered fine!
So stay away from the plastic bags, but go for the hot knifes!
