SEXUAL LIMITS IN MARRIAGE
<p style="text-align: justify;">Should there be limits to what married couples can do sexually, or is mutual consent enough? There is this school of thought that doling out consent is all that matters. As long as there is consent, then it is good. But we know that consent, even mutual consent, is not enough when a minor consents to having sexual relations with an adult. A marriage relationship is not inoculated from this as well. Whatever a married couple decides to do with each other may remain private, but that does not mean that whatever they choose to practice sexually is right, or even good for their mental, emotional, or physical wellbeing. There are sexual practices that glorify bodily harm; some are sadistic and masochistic in nature, and yet a couple can consent to practice this. A married couple, by the way. Consent is not a panacea for a question pregnant with moral ambiguity. Consent does not make a wrong right; it only indicates willingness. In the context of sexual relations between married couples and within the framework of consent, is there any right or wrong way to have or participate in sex?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I will reference scriptures and extrapolate arguments that do not rely solely on biblical authority. For example, the first book of Corinthians states that all things are lawful, but not all things are expedient or helpful. My main argument is that the boundaries of sex within consent challenge traditional concepts of normalcy. Using logic and observation, I note that male and female genitalia are physically complementary, which tradition interprets as natural. Thus, deviations from this arrangement are often viewed as experimental or unnatural, prompting us to question why these deviations are seen this way.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In summary, consent alone does not justify every possible act. Without limits, even harmful acts might become accepted as long as both parties agree. Rules and boundaries exist for reasons that consent cannot override, suggesting there should be moral limits beyond mere agreement in marriage.</p>
