This Is How People Really Define Consent

[breadisfunny]

Romance and rape are becoming synonyms.

romantic rapists?

I feel like the this issue really is divided into two main camps: the first are sticklers for a hysterical notion of consent, these people are almost always socially awkward/inept rejects/undesirables and in the overwhelming majority of cases have probably never even had sex themselves, and the second group is pretty much everyone else (also known as normal people).

To be perfectly clear it isn't my position that rape isn't rape. It is merely that romantic actions that normal people use to initiate and use during healthy relationships can get caught up in increasingly broadening litigation that could make spontaneous expression a trap. Letter vs spirit, and all that.

"Play it safe" ? Like signed documents of consent before doing the dirty?

Like don't trick women into getting drunk and not take advantage of em for a start?

[Terahertz]

No means no unless you're in a relationship with safewords. In that case teddybear means no.

I am amazed people are still discussing this

"Excited consent?" I think both me and my girlfriend have raped ourselves in occassions by that definition. Sometimes you just want casual/quick sex, not something that will make you jump in anticipation or excitement.

How about not fucking drunk people, or stopping as soon as someone says no/safeword?

No doesn’t mean stop. If you’re making out and you go to put your hand under the shirt, a no means you aren’t given consent to put your hand under the shirt, not that consent for making out was revoked (aka stop).

I joke, of course

[alexkeren]

So then you don't have much life experience and don't know many people. That really disqualifies you from acting as an expert here.

The number of people who have never drank alcohol isn’t very large. Also, the number of people who have never had a relationship isn’t very large as well.

So I have to with the TPB response to inconceivable in regards to your knowledge of what “life experience” means.

Well, I imagine people have enough brainpower to communicate with more words than no what exactly the no is for, otherwise you should stop everything you are doing because you are fucking someone that expects you to read their mind and that in itself is a big turn off imo
