A quick lesson about sex and rape.

[sarolynne]

Okay, a break from the normal programming, though really, rants seem to be the normal programming, so in that case, I suppose you could call it more of the same. This post is brought to you by this article and the comments in response to it, which if you value maintaining a healthy blood pressure, I advise you not to read. The summary would be

6. If the object of your desire is unable to give informed, meaningful consent by virtue of being unconscious, a child, an animal, mentally impaired, under your authority, drugged, drunk or sick past the point of understanding the situation? Don't.

7. If you attempt to coerce consent to your sexual advances with threats, physical violence, creating a hostile environment, or by wearing down her patience until she just gives in out of pity and exhaustion? Take yourself out or relationships with other living things you inconsiderate douche, and while we're at it, feel free to get yourself sterilized. Also, stop.
♥♥♥!!!!

Also, I don't understand how he could possible have sex with what amounts to a limp, wet noodle. Seriously, have some class and standards, people!!

[sarolynne]

Nooooo kidding. Why would anyone want to sleep with someone who's completely limp. It says something about his sex life if he thinks that's normal.

I'm telling you, girlfriend. We should just commit to each other and settle for the occasional external (and consenting) booty-call to handle the sex part.

It would be the healthiest relationship those brainwashed, religion-poisoned assclown fucktards will ever see!

[sarolynne]

And we'll spend the rest of our lives in boosy faux-lesbian semi-hermitude? XD

[evilpuppy]

Damn skippy! And we'll actually ENJOY ourselves!!

...

Also, your dad would blow a fuse, and you'd get to bask in delight and figure out new ways to be ambiguously suggestive about our "relationship."

A. Your list needs to be framed and secured to the exit doors of every college dorm, and maybe even every firedoor on every high school. Maybe after reading it every time they leave school, it might sink in.

B. As for what prompted it... man, I just have No. Freaking. Words. (And that's saying something.) Just utterly speechless.

[sarolynne]

The scary part is that this isn't just obvious. However, all signs point to it being very confusing for a depressingly high number of people.

Just...

I'm married and I'm not a Christian or whatever, and if I'm in a coma, my husband can do whatever the hell he wants.

-shrugs- Really, I think it's one of those issues that should be talked about before hand, if you're the type of person to think worst case, and go couple by couple. It's a personal decision.

[evilpuppy]

As refreshing as it is to hear that you have no problems with your husband exploring any necrophilia fantasies that may be plaguing his/your sub -or not so sub- conscious as the case may be, it's disconcerting that you fail to grasp just what the issue is.

Consent by definition is a conscious choice, something made impossible by, you know, being UNconscious. Although granted, there are a wide variety of perfectly reasonable and logical fetishes that explain why you might feel that way.

Maybe you're into auto-erotic asphyxiation or breath play or have some kind of hypnofetish! Oh, oh! Maybe you're into agalmatophilia! Or abasiophilia! Or biastophilia! Oh, wait... you said you don't think it's rape, so that can't be.

Ah! I got it! You and your husband are wildcrazy into somnophilia!

... Then again, maybe it's just plain old masochism and you're a hardcore submissive into humiliation play.

You see? Perfectly reasonable and logical explanation!

That's why I said if you're a person who wouldn't mind, you should talk it over with your partner so there would never be an issue. Kind of like pulling the plug or something.

I never said that if another person other than myself would consider it rape that it would be okay for their husband to do to them. I was stating my personal feelings on the matter. But thank you for they snooty bitchery. I really needed that right now, to remind me of why I try and keep my opinion to myself. It's because of overly confrontational, judgmental cunts like you.

[evilpuppy]

Don't be silly! I'm not an overly confrontational judgmental cunt. I'm probably only an average confrontational judgmental cunt.

If your personal choice involves sex with a non-responsive partner, you're going to have to learn to call the fetish what it is. The fact that you're okay with the potential situation between yourself and your husband means that there are kinks in there you probably aren't admitting to yourself.

A spade is a spade.
