I like to think of myself as a pretty broad-minded feller but there isn't enough penicillin in the world for me to take sexual advice from this freak.

British MP George Galloway has created controversy in the UK for comments made about rape during a British radio broadcast.
Galloway was discussing the sexual allegations against WikiLeaks mastermind Julian Assange in an episode of his "Good Night" podcast published on August 18th.
The New Statesman has transcribed the controversial comments:
Let's take woman A. Woman A met Julian Assange, invited him back to her flat [apartment], gave him dinner, went to bed with him, had consensual sex with him. Claims that she woke up to him having sex with her again. This is something which can happen, you know.I mean not everybody needs to be asked prior to each insertion. Some people believe that when you go to bed with somebody, take off your clothes, and have sex with them and then fall asleep, you're already in the sex game with them.
It might be really bad manners not to have tapped her on the shoulder and said, "do you mind if I do it again?". It might be really sordid and bad sexual etiquette, but whatever else it is, it is not rape or you bankrupt the term rape of all meaning. . .

A woman has the right to say "no" to her husband just as certainly as a guy has the same right with his wife.
It might be rape if she woke up and told him to stop and he refused to. Maybe her buzz wore off during her nap and she regretted having sex the first time around. He should have woke her before he tried to poke her.
My wife prefers it that way
Perhaps "explicitly revoked" would be a better phrase to use in this case. *snicker*
You’re not well, to put it mildly.

What I want to know is WHY someone hasn’t murdered that filthy socialist/communist SOB yet?
Written, signed by credible witnesses.
Thanks for being a voice of sanity on the thread. For having a conscience. For having a grip on reality.
Wait, if I’m asleep throughout the action scenes, how would I know afterwards?!
Usually they fall asleep on me half way through. I may have a bigger problem than bad manners.

“Your honor, she didn’t say ‘NO’.”
“If you get into bed with someone willingly, take your clothes off, and engage in consensual sex with that person, you might get raped in the process, but you’re going to have a damnably hard time convincing a reasonable person of the fact.”
Agreed. Who can argue with this? Isn’t it the liberal politically correct crowd who is supposed to argue with it, and the conservatives who are supposed to support it? I support the above statement, and all that is implied therein.
Just hate it when that happens. (actually did one time about 30 years ago the 1st time I slept with a new girlfriend)
I don’t think the argument is about whether he has the right to carry on when she says ‘no’, but about whether he should be done for rape for having sex without explicit consent after they’ve already had sex once and are sleeping in the same bed.
If your partner is sleeping - you’re doing it wrong.
Yet, waking your girlfriend up early because you can’t get enough would be seen as passionate, spontaneous, and romantic. You know, all those things they blame men for ruining.
Word.
“It might be rape if she woke up and told him to stop and he refused to.”
Certainly, that’s reasonable. However, just waking someone up who you just had sex with by trying to give it another go, well that isn’t rape. In fact, I think a lot of people would consider that foreplay. I know that women have done it to me, and I didn’t feel raped.
I used to encourage my GF to have sex with me when I was sleeping. Back then I was very very tired all the time and would fall asleep in 2 minutes flat if I stopped moving and closed my eyes. That made the GF a little frustrated. After the first time she decided she liked it that way.
