-
- Gee, my girlfriend LOVES it when I do that with her. No force, no dominance.
- Just sex.
-
- Am I raping her?
-
- The problem her is that these men did not say, "And I want her to hate it!"
- There is a cute blonde at the rec center I would love to do this to. In my
- fantasies, she loves it to.
-
- Not rape. You over-extrapolated.

- Well, most men who have date-raped have fantasized about consensual sex. Are
- you saying the fantasy leads to the reality?

-
- Olivious is not rape.

- You have sidestepped the question. You are equating the fact that consent was
- not mentioned that the fantasy included none. Your own thoughts. Tell me, if
- the male does not mention orgasam, do you also assume that none occurs in his
- fantasy?

- Oh. You answered my question. Almost. Why then, did you shout 'rape fantasy' to
- us?
