What is the Buddhist 3rd Precept?
The 3rd Precept: One accepts the training rule of avoiding All Sexual Abuse.
One should cause No Pain to others or oneself in one's search for pleasure!
Avoiding sexual abuse is thus an essential core component of harmlessness!
Specifically:
One should not mate sexually with another's partner.
One should not mate sexually with anyone engaged or married to another.
One should not mate sexually with minors < 16-18 years of age.
One should not mate sexually with those imprisoned, forced or under the law.
One should not mate sexually with those protected by family or teachers.
One should not mate sexually with another's partner.
One should not mate sexually with anyone engaged or married to another.
One should not mate sexually with minors < 16-18 years of age.
One should not mate sexually with those imprisoned, forced or under the law.
One should not mate sexually with those protected by family or teachers.
kāmesu-micchācāra: lit. 'wrong or evil conduct with regard to sensual things';
Unlawful sexual contact refers to adultery, and to intercourse with minors
or other persons under guardianship. The abstaining from this unlawful act is
one of the 5 moral training rules (sikkhāpada) binding upon all Buddhists.
Any sexual act transgressing this rule will inevitably cause suffering later...
The monk, however, has to observe perfect chastity by living fully celibate
even without any masturbation. In many Suttas (e.g. A.X., 176) we find the
following explanation:
He avoids unlawful sexual intercourse, abstains from it. He has no intercourse
with girls who are still under the protection of father or mother, brother,
sister or relatives, nor with married women, nor female convicts, nor, lastly,
with betrothed girls. Source: the Buddhist Dictionary:

"Illicit sexual behavior, when indulged in, developed, & pursued, is something
that leads to hell, leads to rebirth as a common animal, leads to the realm of
the hungry ghosts. The slightest of all the results coming from illicit sexual
behavior is future rivalry and revenge, when one becomes a human being.

"Furthermore, abandoning illicit sex, the disciple of the noble ones abstains
from illicit sex. In doing so, he gives freedom from danger, from animosity,
freedom from oppression to limitless numbers of beings. In giving freedom
from danger, freedom from animosity, freedom from oppression to limitless
numbers of beings, he gains a fair share of limitless freedom from danger,
freedom from animosity, and freedom from oppression. This is the 3rd gift!

Finally: Ignoring, hiding or not informing about own STD:
Knowingly engaging in a sexual contact that puts another being in danger
of getting a sexually transmitted disease, which later may make this being
suffer and maybe even be potentially lethal (HIV) is also not only sexual
abuse in the Buddhist sense, but also illegal and forbidden by law and thus
legally punishable in most countries today.
