Does a government have the right to tell its people what they can and can't do in the bedroom?

president bliar will tell you how often you shold be breathing soon.

No. What two consenting adults do behind the privacy of their own bedroom door,is a matter for them,no-one else!!!

You said the magic word - consensual. No, in my opinion, the government has no right to dictate what two consenting adults do in their own bedroom. Prohibiting that does not improve one's morals - by then, it is too late.

if you have been too loud they can tell you too keep it down if that is what you mean.

Rock Lee

The key words are, 'between consenting adults'. Everything else is ok.

Only when religion intrudes on the secular do you have governments involved in your bedroom. Another argument to marginalize religion so it cannot use the coercive power of the state to shove their god down everyone's throat.

just the facts

Only if they are the third party participating.

straightup

No, unless it is against the law. In addition to consensual and not harming the other person there some likely age issues, etc. Generally, consenting adults can do what they want if they aren't harming the other(s).

Hell no, when you look at some of the pervy shite that some politicians have been caught doing - not to mention the fact that some cant seem to keep it in their pants they're the last people to be moralising what consenting adults get up to.

Unless it involves kids or animals - they should burn obviously.

The government does not have the right to tell consenting adults what they can and can not do under the sheets. But because our government was formed with the influence of Christian morals and values, they feel that it is their duty to enforce those morals and values on people who otherwise would not cooperate.

So, yet another example of the government overstepping its boundaries to infringe on the rights of it's citizens.

not just NO but HELL NO!!

What are you driving at ? It depends - I can't just say yes - You can't murder in the bedroom - it can say that but if you 'sleep' /other bedroom activities well that's down to you.

The Government is far too prescriptive generally and maybe that'll be next with their surveillance - they should be fought all the way with their invasions of people's privacy.

I for one don't trust them to know where I go and what I do in my car.

They need to get off people's backs. All the guilt they pour onto British people, they blame us for everything that happens to ourselves, to the nation, to the world. They need to stop attempting to distract us from the real issues by trying to make us feel responsible. The US must feel the same, as if the people's of the world think we are all Madonna and millionaires. It's all relative. Politicians think they can distract us with guilt so we don't see that they have'nt been doing the job we so handsomely have paid them to do all these years.

The government has set down limits but they only apply outside your private residence or if somebody gets hurts and reports you. These are called crimes against nature. Most states only allow the missionary position as being legal. Everything else is a crime against nature (that's how we phrase it in NC). It is all based on what the general public feels is morally and ethically acceptable to them at that time and in that location. What is accepted in Miami might not be accepted in Idaho. That is what most laws are based on and that is why they are different from state to state.

The question is one of the Right to Privacy which is an inference from the right to be secure in ones person and effects Constitutionally. Hence the Right to Privacy is a Legal theory subject to interpretation!

However the only bar is the counter question of the interest for National Security. Thus if my person papers and effects are promoting revolt then the National interest prevails.

The connection may seem far fetched but there are some Right Wingers who infer their religious views as in the interest of Nationalism and so would like to dictate your privacy in just such a context!

the government only cares about wha you do in the bedroom if you're gay. Pedophilia is ok, right republicans?

Mr. Main Event

No, not unless you are gay. At least, according to the Republicans.

Arad

the government can make certain restrictions like volume and number of partners at the same time

inhibitor

They should and do.
