"Consent", The very simple idea that what two consenting adults do together is their own damn business and no one else's.
All the rest, paedophilia, necrophilia, beastiality etc do not have consent from one of the parties involved.
So they qualify as rape.
Do you understand now?
(Though I don't see how foot fetishism got in there)
Why is 'consent' an element in necrophilia or bestiality?
More to the point, what kind of consent would be required for necrophilia to be allowed?
If I leave it in my will that after my death, I want my body to be taxidermied and sold to a sex shop for regular use - would that count as consent?
What if I left no instructions as to what is to be done - in my will or by any indication when I was alive - and my wife, who is now the de-facto owner if my body - wants one last fuck - should 'consent' be considered there?
What if my family has to sell me for parts after my death and the highest bidder happens to be a necrophiliac?
Or what if he finds an abandoned dead body and then chooses to use that?
Whose 'consent' are we talking about here?
And why is consent even a consideration for bestiality? We don't ask for their consent when we cut them up for meat, shave off their hair for wool, milk them, take their eggs, ride them and so on and on and on. But when it comes to sex, first the cow has to say yes.
