Yeah, but there are so many different ways to go along with something, just as there are different ways to rebel.

I mean there are plenty of people who aren't happy about having this forced on them. You can find someone like-minded who will do it so that you both have that obligation off your chest but you have to make sure they're trustworthy and won't hurt you. Or you can jump into it head first and just go along with it. After all the first option doesn't cover the obligation to have sex three times a month.

And if you decide to rebel, do it silently and hide to avoid all contact, basically become someone who has to steal and look over their shoulder every second of the day, or make it loud, protest and face the consequences of that and how long can you keep that up.

Both those options don't help you get out of here if you're constantly on the run or being punished though.
