My Rules, just for the record

• 1 Safeword, pain scale, or some warning system will be used.

• 2 Flexible. This rule can and will be changed to suit my mood. Yes, you should have known what it was changing to. Yes, you are probably now in trouble. No, changing the rule does not negate the old rule 2.

• 3 There will be sex.

• 4 No waterproof eye makeup is allowed. Bonus points for streaking mascara on your cheeks.

• 5 Yes, it is fair.  Fairness has been covered, no further discussion of this word is allowed.

Hedonism is the doctrine which holds that the good is whatever gives you pleasure and, therefore, pleasure is the standard of morality. Objectivism holds that the good must be defined by a rational standard of value, that pleasure is not a first cause, but only a consequence, that only the pleasure which proceeds from a rational value judgment can be regarded as moral, that pleasure, as such, is not a guide to action nor a standard of morality.
