The issue there had as much to do with the person as with the proposed activity, and ultimately part of it did get back to concerns about personal safety. A mentally unbalanced girl who may be a danger to herself and others asking to have sex in a cemetery at midnight is an issue for a lot of reasons. Ironically enough, she went on to be a fanatical Evangelical.
I give you a perfect example of sexual activity that you wouldn't do and it just doesn't count? Because you're calling the girl mentally unbalanced? Doesn't that only serve to prove my point? Maybe she became a fanatical evangelical because nobody was tolerant enough of her kinks! If physical safety was the only issue you could have made it work.
