What business is it of yours what I do, read, buy, see, say, think, who I sleep with, what I take into my body - as long as I do not harm another human being on this planet?

Absolutely none! And I wholeheartedly agree! ;-)

It's not. That's why I'm a Libertarian.

To me it makes no difference at all. I agree with you.

None... Unless you ask for opinions about it. Then, remember, it's only an opinion. Now, as for what you take into your body, that also depends on whether you then go out into public, driving. Whether YOU hurt someone or not, you could cause someone else to hurt someone to get out of your way.

Who says your actions don't harm anyone else? Do you want to watch or look at kiddy porn? Kids are hurt making the movies you want to watch. Do you want to do drugs that support terrorists or lead to the oppression of the people forced to grow them? Do you read books that spread hate? Thank you for keeping those publishers in business. Does who you sleep with help break down the family ideal? Though where you would find the ideal family I don't know. Think what you want. But you shouldn't think your actions won't harm anyone else, even if it's someone you never met.

There have been some very good answers here and I agree with all or at least part of those answers. The only difference I would make is in your question; you should say: "as long as I or any of my actions do not do harm to another person." As one person said, "Kiddy porn hurts children..." By participating in the watching of or purchaceing of kiddy porn you would be causing harm to someone else by that action; indirectly but still do harm. If you drink or do drugs and drive you could harm another person in an accident. Therefore your actions could directly or indirectly cause harm to another person. If you eliminate those situations which couuld potentually cause harm to another than you should be able to do or read or buy etc what ever you desire.

As long as you're single and you have no friends or family, then you're right, you will do no harm to others...and in that case do whatever the hell you want!
