If it's for a purpose. Like a pap smear or something. Not a fan of it, but it's necessary. Letting random people assault or touch me for no reason other than for them to get their jollies is another thing entirely.

How do we determine whether something is for a purpose or not?

I added a bit after you quoted. Who decides about the purpose? I'll make the decision based on if I agree with the reason/possible benefit or not. I'll take the pap smear because I'll get piece of mind if all is well or a better chance of a problem being caught early and being able to take care of it if not.
