Here is my final point...About drugs, about alcohol, about pornography...What business is it of yours what I do, read, buy, see, or take into my body as long as I do not harm another human being on this planet? And for those who are having a little moral dilemma in your head about how to answer that question, I'll answer it for you. NONE of your fucking business. Take that to the bank, cash it, and go fucking on a vacation out of my life.— Bill Hicks
Your body is just that, your body. Our view, the one expressed on this site, is similar to that of Mr. Hicks. What you do with or substances you take into your body, provided it does not harm another person, is your business. In regards to pornography, it gets murkier. With that said, some substances or chemicals may be illegal or quasi-legal to partake of where you reside. We suggest following local laws and regulations if you prefer to stay out of legal trouble. We will, however, discuss these substances and their effects for the sake of being informed.
Without 'consent' in any human interactions, there's an ethical violation.— Henry Johnson Jr
When it comes to interactions between two human bodies, such as sex, our view is that fully informed consent is required for it to be ethically and morally acceptable. Certain people, such as underage children, cannot legally (or ethically) provide consent and sexual contact with them by adults is never ethical or morally acceptable. Others, such as animals, can also not express consent and thus sexual contact with them is also unacceptable ethically or morally.
We will explore the concept and idea of consent further in other articles, but it is important to lay out the standards to which this site adheres early on.
With those two important points out of the way - welcome to your body[1]. You've had it all your life but if you're like most of us you barely understand many aspects of your body. It is a wonderful and beautiful living machine comprised of many, many interconnected and linked systems. We will explore the operation, care, and maintenance of some of those systems in this manual, but the scope of the complexity of your body means we cannot cover it all.
