Not these days. Spousal rape is a crime.


yeah. I’m talking God’s law, not mans.

Man’s law says you have to bake the cake. I don’t take it very seriously.

True, but the Bible isn’t going to save you if it goes to court.


Fortunately, I don’t have to worry about this regarding my wife. Now, regarding my first wife, the bible didn’t save me in court, but God did.

You have both given consent at the marriage ceremony.
Feminists even dispute that.


A lot of “Christian” women dispute it. Paul makes it abundantly clear, but still...

Drunk people often do not have the capacity to make informed judgments. And I think it is good that as a society we now frown on using drink or drugs as a way to “loosen” up sex partners to agree to do things they wouldn’t otherwise agree to.

I don’t agree that when two people are drunk, it’s the man’s fault if they do things. Two drunk people are either taking advantage of each other mutually, or are frankly just being stupid.

Further, while I don’t think one should accept full responsibility if a partner withdraws consent secretly and expects you to notice, I do think consent can be taken away at any time, and I would never want to be with someone if they had any possible doubt about it.

To the point where I refuse to do anything if drinking is involved, even if the person explicitly tells me that they give consent. As I explain, how can you exercise your right to withdraw consent if you are too drunk to give consent?

But seriously, the big thing is why would I ever want to do anything with someone unless they were actively interested and pushing it? Sex isn’t something to do, it is sharing something important. That’s why it is designed for a committed marriage relationship, and while that seems to be “abnormal” these days, it doesn’t change how sex works, even if people try very hard to make it so.

I’ve talked to people who were convinced sex was just a thing to do, until they actually found a partner who felt for them, and suddenly they understood the difference between just screwing around, and actually making love, and wondered why they let themselves get to that point.

While i hate the idea of guys getting screwed over by colleges with this rape culture thing, if it makes guys stop having meaningless sex, and forces them to make sure the people they sleep with are true partners who are committed to them, that’s a good thing.

That is because your brain works logically... This is pure Feminazi indoctrination at it's worst.

Let's go back in time:

Man says to ‘Eve’ “how about it sweetie’... I get happy, you get pregnant - give birth in great pain - possibly die in child birth (before hospitals) and if you don't die you're tasked with 15 or 16 years of raising a child AND being dependent on me for survival. ARE YOU READY AND WILLING”?

Rational woman says ‘hell no are you nuts”?

If that choice stood there would be no human race.

Seduction, ‘agreements’, laws, religion, traditions etc. etc. are used to modify and shape sexual aggression, but the basis of it is still hardwired.

Wyfe still has to consent in marriage

You can’t just peel open and pour the coal to it

Woman has to be of a wanting nature

I know you meant that


Well, that’s never an issue in my marriage, but I’m sure that some forget what the apostle Paul said about who’s body a husbands or wife really is. i.e. consent is given at marriage.

Now, if your spouse actually LOVES you as they are instructed to, they will never force their right, but it is still a right.

i.e. a loving husband knows he can have his way any time he wants, but respects his wife’s desires. And vice versa.

In other words, the way that I and other men were taught to perform our sexuality was violent and normalized.

Odd he doesn't say who taught him this.

Parents? Religious leaders? Cultural influence?

Interesting, eh?

What the heck did we just read? Was Debra considering herself two people? Or was he about to score a threesome?

That stupid looking piece of hardware stuck in his nose has bigger balls than he does.

And beard or no beard, I’m not 100% convinced that he’s a biological XY male.

Glad to see you got to it before I did.

Though I’m still not absolutely positive this person isn’t a he-she.
