1. I actually tend to agree with this...

The pence rule is about keeping oneself above-board always and thats a good thing, but if you need a rule (Law) against theft, it's a pretty good bet that given correct circumstances, you'll try to steal yourself some shit. Men of maturity don't need such fences around their behavior, because they know Right from Wrong innately. Only immature boys need such rules. It's the difference between religion and Faith...religion puts up fences because it doesn't trust Human Nature. Faith, on the other hand, will tear those same fences down because they're no longer necessary for correct moral decision-making.
What the religious don't get is that religions first purpose should be is to make itself irrelevant.

2. Yes.

3. And a lot of that maturity has to with what will be injurious to the other Party...

And having that knowledge A Priori. I know some married swingers who have come to the conclusion that their emotional relationship and commitment to each other is not based something as fleeting and superficial as physical intimate romanticism (for each other). They ALSO understand that not everyone can or does thinks like they do, and they are appropriately respectful of of such circumstances.

4. Yes and thank you,

about time I see recognition that mature relationships are not based on something as fleeting and superficial as physical intimate romanticism (for each other).

About damn time.

Thank you, Volaris.
