What is the sex rules of your religion or philosophy?

[Polymath257]

I decided that its my business same as I decided murderers and rapists are my business, my own affair my own to do list

Murder and rape harm other people. When such harms are seen, they should be prevented.

What harm is there in the other situation?

Yes they are wrong, maybe you have not developed a sense of right and wrong

Oh I have. But it is different than yours.

Oh I have. But it is different than yours.

It doesn't have to be seen, I don't care if it is seen, molesting babies isn't seen, what is seen is an evil action

And it's my business

Having sex with children is harmful. Babies can't consent. They aren't able to be informed...

The harm there is well documented

 

[Polymath257]

It doesn't have to be seen, I don't care if it is seen, molesting babies isn't seen, what is seen is an evil action

Again, in this, babies are harmed.

And it's my business

Not if everyone involved can give and does give consent as adults. It is your business and mine if there is no consent. But it is none of our business if nobody is harmed.

And it's my business

That honestly sounds like an action movie one-liner. Punished Leah, Angel of Vengeance: "and it's my business."

Real patrician aesthetic. I like it.

Oh, there are many things I find disgusting: sex with children, for example. Sex that is not consensual. Sex where people are lying to each other.

I find it disgusting that marital rape wasn't recognized until recently. I find it disgusting that many people want to limit access to birth control. I find it disgusting that people judge based on whether someone is attracted to the same gender. I find it disgusting that many places in the world blame the victim of rape over the perpetrator. I find it disgusting that a woman who was raped can be said to have 'asked for it' if she wore sexy clothes.

Great. Many do.

Title question

Some do not hate gay people, some forbid trans people, some allow child marriage, some mutilate genitals, some have many wives, some allow masturbation and some try to have sex with incubus

What are your rules?

It must be consensual, nobody should be coerced or exploited, and I try not stain the good couch.

From Meher Baba, there are no "rules" as such. Actions have karmic consequences. There is a vast karmic difference between the impact of promiscuous sexuality and the interpersonal connections forged in marriage. The summary as I understand it is that marriage can be helpful on the spiritual path if approached in that light but promiscuity is not.

As far as trans people, there is a story of the hijra in India who more accurately are called 'trans'. The explanation is that people sometimes have the sanskaras (impressions) from the opposite gender carried forward into the current life. In other words, it's perfectly natural for this to happen. And by extension, such a life will happen to all of us sooner or later.

Anything goes between consenting adults.

No, they don't remember, its disgusting to think about I don't mean what you think no physical harm but it is evil

You made up your own rule I made up mine, you made up none of our business, I say it is

What is the best karmic way?

What is the best karmic way?

Unless someone finds celibacy utterly easy and natural, it is to me a marriage of equals based on love and putting one's partner ahead of one's own desires. This of course takes work which is where the growth lies.

It is wonderful if the parties in marriage can equally sacrifice their own desires out of love for the other person.

I thought of a few other things no one has mention...this isn't related to my religion just rules I thought I'd add
1. Cheating is immoral. It's fine to sleep with multiple partners but don't break rules of relationships and go behind folks back. Polyamory isn't cheating and ethical nonmongamy is ok but breaking rules of a relationship sleeping with someone behind a partner's back without permission is not.

2. Inform folks if you have an std. Partners should be aware of those and their risk.

3. Explain your intentions regarding sleeping with someone. If it's just sex say so. If you want something more say so. Don't lead someone on. Not doing so isn't immoral but doing so can avoid hurt feelings and misunderstandings

This is common sense but I thought I'd add

 

[Guitar's Cry]

Just about anything goes if it's between consenting adults. Monogamy, Polyamory, LGBTQ, sex of all forms and types, etc etc. A lot of Paganism is based around fertility, go figure it's sex positive.

This.

In fact, I consider Pan as a patron god. ;-)

 

[Guitar's Cry]

Maybe the limit is only what is disgusting to us
Father and son is gross to me and evil, maybe old places with death laws for this kind of thing are right

That's problematic, though. "Disgusting" and "gross" are subjective and pronouncing death for a subjective judgement seems worse than the crime.

A father and son having sex has more objective possible issues: as Polymath257 suggested there could be a power dynamic making consent a problem. Incest also comes with a slew of potential mental and social health problems.

But again, two consenting adults? Who's to say otherwise? Certainly not someone pronouncing a death sentence.

 

[Guitar's Cry]

I'll add I have very strong rules on consent...
Fries is a good acrynom.
Freely given(no coersion)
Reversible(no sex with someone asleep or unconsious and you can revoke it at any time)
Informed(all understand what's happening)
Enthusiastic(all want it)
Specific(only what is agreed to...)

Mmm...fries...

 

[oldbadger]

What if they like harm?

I would not harm anybody, whatever they want.
Would you?

 

[Kenny]

What does the soul do in it? I like the idea of exclusive reservation

Most Christ followers define soul as our mind, will and emotions (though there are always exceptions).

It is also our connector between the spirit world and the physical world. In my marriage I would take dominion (control, subject it to a prescribed line of thought) over thoughts that involve anyone beyond my spouse.

In our view, if you meditate long enough on something that is not lining up with God's desires, you can end up desiring something not kosher and then manifesting the desire with actions that would be contrary to the covenant declared to your spouse.

I said otherwise

You did a subjective idea too, you made up your rule
