So if all potential rapists just need the provocation of a woman....

to be drunk/skimpily dressed/dancing suggestively to be able to rape them then why aren't strip clubs scenes of mass rape every time the women start dancing? How can potential rapists watch a woman gyrate naked a few inches in front of them and not rape them yet a young woman tipsily making her way home from the pub is a direct call to be raped?

Not that I believe that, of course, but some people seem to (following on from the drunk=rape in waiting) so why don't women in strip clubs, night clubs, etc get raped then and there on the dance floor/stage, why are they taken outside (ex. taken from the drunk thread) or attacked on the way home or in the toilets.

If the provocation is soooo great then surely the potential rapist can't wait and is over taken by lust (as ifHmm) and has to rape right then rather than waiting until a time/place where he is likely to be undisturbed?

Does that make any sense to anyone? It did last night during a feed but who knows what kind of crap trundles through my head at silly o'clockGrin.

  • I'm using potential rapist rather than man just in case there is any cries of what about the legions of female rapists/not all men are rapists you know/etc/etc

I suspect the hairdressers are all gay (no they are not really!) and the OB-GYN Drs, well they must be too, I mean a woman in half naked in stirrups and them not sticking their cock in - gotta be something wrong with them.....or they could be normal human beings like 99% of the people on this planetHmm

You should have seen the twitter interaction I had earlier.

Apparently not only is withdrawing consent after the start of intercourse impossible because men don't have an on/off button, but just by being naked you give the man the right to a complete sexual experience with you. So it seems you have it all wrong - it's not that you're provoking them, it's that you're giving them consent without ermmm, actually consenting Confused

He didn't appreciate my comments on how he obviously didn't last very long if he didn't have time to react to someone telling him to stop and that I'd hate to have sex with someone with that little control; So whoever it was who said something like that on here that must have floated round my head until now - Thanks :)

Ever been o a car show? For every 'sexy' car on show there there is a woman in a bikini next to it. They don't all get raped there and then do they?

Poncey - how do these 'men' who can't help themselves when faced with a scantily clad lady not end up being arrested in WHSmith's for indecent exposure and criminal damage to Loaded magazines?Grin

I know! How could I forget the swimming pool. And what about mannikins in lingere shop windows? Or those girls who hang around stands at geek conventions in Princess Leia outfits? Do the geeks go wild and start raping? Or not?

I wonder what hold some of these potential rapists back? Or are they just shy and can't perform with a sober, awake woman. Not that rape has anything to do with the act of consensual sex.

Yes, it's a mystery. What about the swimming pool? All those bodies on display etc. What about formal dinners? How do these guys refrain from leaping across the table there and then?

Also, do those who rape very old or non-conventionally attractive women just have really poor eyesight?
