"What is his damage? Does he get turned on? Does he get warts? Does he feel ashamed? Does he go to Hell? What is his harm. I've asked you patiently 78 times so I must finally ask you: ARE YOU DENSE? I have responded quite a few times and done my best to help you get it. Even though I still consider it irrelevant to the notion of whether or not a claim of ‘Freedom of Conscience’ is valid. I'll try another tack in explaining harm that is related to violating mojo’s or anyone’s Freedom of Conscience. When one's boundaries are violated, harm occurs. Mojo has declared the limit (boundary) of his tolerance for being involved in a sexualized encounter (not on his massage table) as a matter of conscience. His clients have a similar conservative viewpoint about where sexualization is appropriate and where it is not. They select mojo’s service as an option over others for this reason. Relationships work best when the boundaries are known and understood by all members. Trouble often arises when the limits of acceptable conduct are unclear or have changed in such a way as to leave people uncertain of just what is within bounds. As I mentioned earlier, an excellent example of this can be seen in the current concerns over problems of sexual harassment in the workplace. It took decades to sink in but now our society is comfortable with the notion of setting personal boundaries and that violating those is harmful to the individuals involved. Harm occurs when any line of personal privacy is violated. Researchers in every field of human study agree that boundaries are essential to a meaningful, well-lived life. The harm is the loss of health, inner peace, safety, confidence, exploration, positive relationships, and a sense of service to others that is eroded by violation of boundaries.
