This is a brief update based on an interesting news story out of Missouri via the New York Daily News<\/a>. \u00a0It's about a couple into S&M. \u00a0The couple engaged in rough sexual play which was consensual. \u00a0From accounts, the acts are somewhat similar to those portrayed in the book \"Fifty Shades of Grey\" -- although it should be noted in a hurry that the acts are also vastly different.<\/p>\n

It's gained more attention with the popularity of the bondage book '50 Shades of Grey.'<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It's an interesting story, both because of the connection with 50 Shades and because of issues relative to the constitutionality of \u00a0the government intruding on a couple's sex life. \u00a0Does the state have grounds to call a halt to bedroom antics by an adult couple? \u00a0Prosecutors in the case say<\/a>: \u00a0(names omitted)<\/p>\n

\"MB's `consent' to the sexual assaults by Defendant EB does not change whether the acts legally constitute assault or not. Pursuant to the Missouri state assault statute ... consent is not a defense to assault resulting in serious physical injury.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Check out the story and consider whether and when the government has a right to criminalize a married couple's sex life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
