If different people have different views about good and bad, and all are following what is good for them, then what does this mean? It means the words good and bad are defined locally, not globally. This is an exceptionally poor condition from which to derive a moral system. We need to find those states or ideas which are most commonly held as good, and entrench them as cultural institutions.
"Yeah I raped that girl. But only because I thought it would feel really, really good. And it did!" is not a moral argument that I'd consider worthy of anything but a prison term.
Or if you want, you can say that the majority of people take pleasure in limiting the freedoms of those who take pleasure in rape.
