vegans and swallowing: the eventual question in any discussion b/w vegan females and well anyone...
ETA: The person typing under Ian's name is not Ian.
Stressed Ian: well, a vegan can't eat anything from an animal
Stressed Ian: does that include swallowing?
B_A_D: Can implies that there is something physically preventing us.
B_A_D: I choose not to eat anything that comes from an animal. I would be perfectly well equip to eat a hamburger, it might not be good for me or feel great. But i could manage to chew it etc.
B_A_D: Generally speaking veganism is due to a concern for the well being of others, animal rights, health or environmental implications. As swallowing has little influence on any of those matters, veganism and swallowing would be irrlevant to one another.
B_A_D: There are no moral implications to swallowing, it doesn't affect animal rights, harm anyone or influence your health or the environment.
B_A_D: Mind you, veganism is also about consent. Being as animals cannot give us consent (or we cannot understand it), without consent actions towards other aren't good. however, assuming that if you are performing oral of some kind, the person you are with would be able to consent to swallowing/being swallowed and you, yourself, would also be able to consent to the same thing.
B_A_D: So swallowing and veganism, are not related. Although bodily fluids are animal products, there is no violation of consent, no harm being done etc. It would be fall a matter of personal perference for you and your partners vegan or not.
