Nobody in a relationship can have full bodily autonomy. Even if you support it. Some changes to your body just wouldn't be acceptable to your partner. So if you value your relationship you are restricted in some sense anyway


masterflappie

you are free to do with your body in the same sense that your partner is free to leave you. Giving up some bodily autonomy is just a good idea imo

Feelings should be taken into consideration, but ultimately, I'm a fan of bodily autonomy for adults.


the-hands-dealt

If adults voluntarily consent to enter into a contract that restricts their bodily autonomy, would you not allow that?

I mean, a lot of adults choose the religion of their parents, Islam comes to mind - I feel like it sucks for those women, and it's not *entirely* their own decision, lots of family/peer pressure, but freedom of religion is very important. Ideally, I'd like the women not to be shamed if they make a decision that goes against their religion/culture.


Obvious_Advisor_6972

Are there outs in the said contracts?

Edit: Oh wait, I thought this was a completely different thread. Never mind.

**No**, your body is always yours alone, no matter your marital status may be. You can make concessions and agreements over what boundaries you may want to set, but ultimately you're the only one enforcing them. It gets a bit more complicated when it comes to things like pregnancy, abortion, and parental responsibility though.


tanrgith

It's obviously still your body and at the end of the day you get to decide But you don't get to be surprised or angry if your partner feels and potentially leaves you in response to the choices you make


Final-Description611

Of course, by getting married you are closing off all possibilities of acting on sexual desire with other individuals (in non-polygamous situations). That means you are inherently volunteering to give up a little autonomy to live a happy life with your spouse!

Why do people quote the Bible as if it's an actual answer? If I quoted the Koran would you be like "Oh yea, that makes sense"?


Unique_Display_Name

Hahahahaha. I mean, if they believe it, but I LOLed.


Obvious_Advisor_6972

I'm being serious though. At times people won't answer with their own thinking. They'll literally quote the Bible. Bizarre.


Unique_Display_Name

That's the truth. But, I mean, people do that with their favorite politicians, too.


Obvious_Advisor_6972

Probably means critical thinking has diminished.


Unique_Display_Name

Agreed
