Legalize consensual activity
All adult consensual activity ought to be legalized. Every adult individual ought to have the right to put anything in their own body that they wish to. Every adult individual ought to have the right to do anything they wish with any other individual(s) so long as those others agree to participate. The only caveat that occurs to me at this moment relates to capacity. There may be some individuals who lack the capacity to make such decisions for themselves and they ought to have protection under the law from those who would abuse them.
Nobody is in a better position to make such decisions for me than I am, and I'm certainly not in a better position to tell anyone else how they should run their lives.
