This is a Sadean variation of an ancient principle, the Golden Rule, "do as you would be done by", but with a subtle twist about receiving and inflicting pain appropriate for someone like de Sade who was both a sadist and a masochist himself.

We claim the right to decide for ourselves what sexual activities we will partake in, including pain play. As long as no one is harmed, and by that we mean that no damage is done which does not readily and quickly heal, we believe that the government (and everyone else) has no right to proscribe our actions. However, as with most other democratic freedoms, the rights which we claim come with a heavy load of responsibility. One who is not prepared to accept that responsibility should never pick up a flogger. We are responsible for the health and safety of our partners and ourselves. Remember, it is okay to hurt your partner (i.e., cause pain), but you must never harm them. BDSM Rights See BDSM Rights article Respect for Property Rights See Respect for Property article.
