> artificial social taboos Like consent? The "I do" in the marriage isn't a romantic gesture, it's a legally binding contract for consent to sexual relations.

  > Society has accidentally rediscovered that marriage is the only way to have sex that isn't technically rape. Ehhh no. Simply asking for an explicit yes is fine here too by law. Of course taking into account that this can be revoked at any time and must be obeyed. And even within marriage it's not legal to force someone to have sex. At least here in Spain it's much more about spending ones life together, shared ownership and parenthood etc than about sex. Of course you wouldn't marry someone you don't ever want to have sex with but it doesn't mean you are obliged to do so. Marital rape is unfortunately a thing. On the other hand, open marriages are also a thing. I often engage in sexual practices with married people with the spouse even present (and often active with someone else). It's not rape :). Just harmless and fully consensual fun. Consent is actually a huge thing in the more promiscuous communities these days. Often people even make contracts (though this is more common in BDSM than in the Swinger community)

    > I asked her verbally and pretty sure I didn't hear her revoking anything during the fifth stroke Ehh, good luck with that in a court of law.

      I don't need to be in a court of law because I respect people's consent even if they withdraw it.

        "Don't be a dick and just have a good vibe" is not valid legal advice.
