    I'm glad I'm not the only one hazy on this

    When does "bad sex" become rape? For some "bad" sex is the "best". How many times have my sexual partners wanted to be held down with a hand over their mouths lest their screams of pleasure draw complaints from the neighbors. I'm a two for 1 guy, she's got to orgasim twice for my one. Some of the things I've done to get some women there...jeez technically they could be described in a rather violent light. Though "No" and "Please Stop" were always taken seriously.

    Yes there are some complete idiots out there who think intimacy is a jack rabbit race, I can only apologize for my gender so much. Sorry sex education in the US is a bit lacking.

    I've seen both sides of the this equation played out in campus dorms. Real rape, made up rape, bad sex, really stupid choices and some really incredible couplings that changed people forever.

    I'd hate to be the judge on it as there are so many matters of opinion and he said she said potentials for trouble.
