is absolutely no impediment to his making advances. Quite the opposite.

And that was the case in the scene the OP posted about. HE made the moves. She was just there, naked, available.

Women can rape men treestar Aug 2012 #5

Nope. Rape involves force or duress. Honeycombe8 Aug 2012 #8

It's a movie scenario, but how does he really consent? treestar Aug 2012 #9

Not when they're adults, according to the definition. Now, if you want to make up your own Honeycombe8 Aug 2012 #13

That's just stupid. Look up the definition: Honeycombe8 Aug 2012 #6

Sorry. No. She makes "the first move". Smarmie Doofus Aug 2012 #19

Nope. She lies down. Puts her arm up somewhere. He leans over and snuggles her, puts his arm around Honeycombe8 Aug 2012 #25
