    When consent is absent, this constitutes abuse and is *not* BDSM. Anyone in a relationship where they are being violated and/or controlled without their consent must recognize they are being abused, not engaging in a trusting partnership in the BDSM realm.

    Everyone has had moments while they're at the doctors office when they have no idea what is ailing them and all they want is answers. Nothing feels more of a relief than your physician coming in and telling you that you're are perfectly healthy. But what if we lived in a world where you were not informed of any treatments or tests that you were receiving. Informed consent defined is permission granted in the knowledge of the possible consequences, typically that which is given by a patient to a doctor for treatment with full knowledge of the possible risks and benefits. Treatment and informed consent can be a very complex and controversial topic. There have been many legal disputes involving treatment and informed consent. I myself believe…

    An example that would count as implicit consent would be that, people are so worried about self preservation that they would give up some freedoms to the state in return for safety from violence or lack of resources. It shows consent to government authority because the government can do something that the citizen can not do for themselves. I do not believe this actually shows consent. If the citizen was able to provide for themselves and protect what ever they wanted they would not need the government. Populations would essentially function on a individual basis.…

    Coercion is essentially the overwhelming of the will of another by force or threat of force, or through less noticeable forms such as fraud. The use of coercion is the means by which a person or group of people impose their will upon another or others. Coercion can also be used to forcibly or fraudulently take the property of others. A crucial qualification of the initiation of force or the threat of force must be present. As long as an individual has done nothing to harm others or violate another's rights, no one has the right to initiate force or the threat of force against that individual. A distinction needs to be made between initiated force, and force used in self-defense. You are quite justified in using force, the threat of force, bluffing, deception, etc., to prevent others from coercing you. Although you need to decide for yourself if, depending on the circumstances, if it would be worth the risk of being harmed more by resisting someone's attempt to coerce you.…
