So what I’m getting at is that it’s a limited moral guide, at least when taken by itself. There’s clearly things other people enjoy that I don’t, but I can still use sympathy to understand that they enjoy it, and I might choose to help them in the process.
They can always just not flog you. Just because they like something doesn’t mean that they HAVE to do the same to others.
And if they asked me to flog them because they like it, I personally would also not do that, as it would make me uncomfortable.

I see. Yes, I agree with that.
