This is all really going over my head anymore. My love is my only friend in the whole world, and I trust him implicitly. I don't feel like he uses me for anything or in anyway. I love him, he loves me, and he's good to me; isn't that enough? If we switch the pronouns to Cole and Rhys, isn't it the same thing? I don't get it.
What if, hypothetically, Rhys asked Cole to do something that would be uncomfortable, painful, or traumatic for him? What if Rhys did not have Cole's best interest at heart, but instead took advantage of the fact that Cole will do anything to please him?
Informed consent means understanding the facts, implications, and consequences of what they are consenting to. That is why a child cannot give consent--they do not have the mental or emotional maturity necessary to fully understand the consequences of sex. If Cole cannot appreciate what he is consenting to, then it does not matter how much pure love somebody might have for him. He still isn't in a position to say yes.
