Funny how my view that 'your body belongs to yourself and no one else' doesn't require study and cross-referencing and other passages to understand.

In a marriage context, if you apply "my body, my choice" as a justification for adultery be sure to let us know how that works out for you.
IMHO there is more to this concept than you are considering.
Your comment is just another flavour of various fallacies christrians trot out i.e., whats stopping you raping and murdering without the bibles moral framework
And your also trying to twist my words in the opposite direction. I'm here claiming that someone's body belongs to only them. And your response is to say, if its only yours, why don't you go cheat??? Come on, this is straw manning at its finest.
Your view comes from entitlement. You have a right to your partners body because a book says so. I say different. I have a responsibility to my partner because we are in love and build our beliefs together.
Your view teaches subservience. You can add all the context you want, but at the end of the day, there is a line that says "your body belongs to your partner". And that line is used to subjugate.
Whereas a healthy couple would start from the respect that they don't own each other, and then build the boundaries that they are comfortable with.

I did not state a viewpoint other than "I believe that you are considering too narrow a portion of the topic at hand."
I am not in favor subservience in a relationship, except when such subservience is to the relationship itself, such as where you mention having a "responsibility to your partner."
