<<BTW, rape may be the ultimate domination, but it is involuntary submission and has nothing to do with sex as far as I can tell. The domination is merely expressed via sex organs.>> I know that's what everyone says these days, but i'll be politically incorrect and disagree with you. And with everybody else except a few rednecks. (I know 'rednecks' isn't a nice term, so nobody bother to bring it up, okay?) "Nothing to do with sex"?, and "merely" expresses domination? Who did the brain scans that proved that? That's a notion. Of course rape is not love making. It's not affectionate. It's not mutual. It's not the kind of sex we like to look at and call by the same name we use for our own. But it's a man looking at a woman (or at somebody) and getting an erection and performing an act that gives him sexual release and can make a baby. (Babies don't get made from domination, they get made from sex.) Maybe if someone did brain maps of men making love and men raping, they'd see a few differences . But they'd see a lot more similarities, i'll bet. I think it's an attractive cliche everyone has colluded to treat as a fact, because it is satisfying to say and has usefulness. But I think it's silly and doesn't bear scrutiny and that there is no evidence that it is true. Rape is a sexual act of a brutal kind. IMHO
