At least somebody does. I think everybody should. Not to sound sexist, but a lot of guys don't like to wait and sometimes it is forced on the girls to do it, and thats how rape started. Has anyone lost it to a rapist? Time to school you... The origin of the word is the Latin rapere, to seize or take by force. The Latin term for the act of rape itself is raptus. Originally, the word rape was akin to rapine, rapture, raptor, rapacious, and referred to the more general violations— looting, destruction, and capture of citizens— inflicted upon a town or city during war. The concept of rape, both as abduction and in the sexual sense, makes its first appearance in early religious texts. In Greek mythology for example, we find the rape of women, exemplified by the rape of Europa, as well as male rape, found in the myth of Laius and Chrysippus. Different values were ascribed to the two actions. The rape of Europa by Zeus is represented as an abduction followed by consensual lovemaking, similar perhaps to the rape of Ganymede by Zeus, and it was not punished. The rape of Chrysippus by Laius however is represented in darker terms. The act was known in antiquity as "the crime of Laius," a term which came to be applied to all male rape. It was seen as an example of hubris in the original sense of the word, i.e.: violent outrage, and its punishment was so severe that it destroyed not only Laius himself, but also his son, Oedipus. In antiquity, and until the late Middle Ages rape was seen as a crime against the male figure dominating the particular girl or woman. Thus the penalty for rape was often a fine payable to the father or the husband whose "goods" were "damaged." That position was replaced by the view that the woman as well as her lord should share the fine equally. Rape in the course of warfare also dates back to antiquity, ancient enough to have been mentioned in the Bible, which condones the abduction of women as war trophies. Another form of sexual assault mentioned in the Bible is the taking of an opponent's foreskin, though no mention is made of whether the enemies are living or dead. See story of David and Jonathan Conquering Greek, Persian and Roman troops would routinely rape women and boys in the conquered towns. The same behaviour was observed as late as the 1990's, as the Serbian troops targeting Bosnia and Kosovo conducted a calculated campaign of raping women and boys in the areas they controlled.[1] (http://www.kamilat.org/News/Serbs.htm) Rape as an adjunct to warfare was first prohibited by the military codices of Richard II and Henry V (1385 and 1419 respectively). These laws formed the basis for convicting and executing rapists during the Hundred Years War (1337-1453

Um, what do you mean by force? You mean the guy constantly asking for it and the girl finally giving in?
I mean, afterall, guys are just horny seed-shooting objects, which their entire goal in life is of planting it in as many girls as possible and girls are fragile delicate creatures that have the inability to be firm and say "no" and are "taken advantage of" by these men.
;D Yeah right!!

Well, I've been schooled. ;D Thanks for educating me Kiyomi.
DJ, I don't think that the concept should change how you feel about someone. If its that bad, then you can see a counselor. If both are virgins, then you won't know what good is, and it won't matter. I'm waiting till marriage. Plain and simple. I'm not one of the "fragile delicate creatures that have the inability to be firm and say 'no' " I know my limits, and I'm not going without a fight.

Some guys, believe it or not, actually have relationships with girls for the sheer joy of being with them. Sex, sometimes, doesn't factor-in until "the moment" arrives.

I wouldn't take what he said to heart since it seems pretty obvious that he was being sarcastic, check below that and you will see a smiley and " yeah right." So yeah he knows that.

Wouldn't someone who is intoxicated have better things to do than browse an internet forum?
Of course I cannot forget the manner of the people here but I must say that I had seperated Bluechan from the majority.

When you drink at home with a small number of close friends you really dont have much else to do yes but that was rather a slip up comment on my part

Pretty colors, funny sounds, lots of buttons to push and plenty of sober idiots typing stupid things that are funny. I know I've been the victim of a drunk IMer more than once (not to mention the facilitator...)
