Ah, exactly!
That is what I was explaining in other scenarios, but you kept referring to your post suggesting that your analogy was the only one that should be considered.
Riding a motorcycle on the road - death is a very real possibility.
Mountain climbing - death is a very real possibility.
Doing a parachute jump - death is a very real possibility.
Swimming at a beach - death is a very real possibility.
etc.
But engaging in rough sex with choking has a similarly low probability of death, unless the partner happens to be the sort of person that would deliberately murder you (which is a fairly low risk).
So now, maybe go back to my previous posts and answer my questions?
Like, we as motorcyclists risk our lives riding instead of using a car, but we do it anyway. When we ride on the road with the general public driving in cars (some could be drunk for all we know) we are taking a risk where death is a very real possibility - why are we judging Grace for her risky behaviour. You have NOT addressed this! You have only dismissed this idea saying you take precautions, but your precautions do NOT remove death as a very real possibility. Why is it that we can risk death but it is OK because we are not getting into the sidecar with the drunk rider so it is alright. That is not sensible logic. Many other scenarios risk death, not just your pet scenario.
You keep on saying "but she invited a stranger to choke her" and think it is a valid answer.
Others could say "but you keep on riding a motorcycle on public roads with all the risks that entails", but we don't care - we want to ride motorcycles and we do it anyway. We realise that ATGATT still leaves us vulnerable and no gear will ever eliminate the risk of death at 100kph. We know a car is safer, but we don't want to be in a car. We know that staying at home is safer, but we want to go out and ride. We choose to risk our lives to do something that we enjoy - you only think it is OK when we do that, not when Grace does it. A lot more people die in NZ when riding motorcycles than when having rough sex with choking so why do you think it is OK for you to do one thing and not for Grace to do the other.
