>the slave owner who has sex with a slave to be a rapist.< I would have to place this in an Other category, more akin to statutory rape. The slaveholder presumes his right of bed without either obtaining free and equal consent from the slave woman. He does not force her either (at least if the man is not a sadist). Not in the direct sense we explored earlier - there is more of a presumption of no choice in the matter between slaveholder and slave. If rape, then statutory. If not rape, then certainly not sex among peers, or even the contractor/customer relationship characteristic of prostitution. I would guess that to our millennial sense of ethics, sex with a slave is no more or less distasteful than simply having a slave. Prostitution - now there is an interesting model. The sex act of a prostitute is not rape because a mutual contract was entered. And yet, it can be argued that many become prostitutes out of a pressing need unrelated to sex. A sort of economic slavery. Another category of meta-rape? (not applicable to all acts with prostitutes, but certainly a proportion?)
