In reply to the discussion: disturbing study - Can You Tell The Difference Between quotes from A Men’s Magazine And A Rapist? [View all]ieoeja
(9,748 posts)2. Meh. My results (with spoiler alert):
I guessed 11 out of 16 correct. I agreed with the following three statements:
2. (by rapist) "Some girls walk around in short-shorts . . . showing their body off . . . It just starts a man thinking that if he gets something like that, what can he do with it?".
Well, er ... yes? I think I heard recently the average man thinks of sex 17 times a day (and food 19 times a day which I thought was weird). An attractive woman in sexy clothes is definitely going to activate that thought for most of us. This is pretty much the very reason that porn and Madison Avenue exist.
6. (by magazine) "Filthy talk can be such a turn on for a girl . . . no one wants to be shagged by a mouse . . . A few compliments won't do any harm either . . . I bet you want it from behind you dirty whore' . . ."
No speculation here. I have female friends who ask their lover to talk dirty to them in the bedroom. Even the "dirty whore" comment works for at least one female friend of mine (from her hubby; she probably wouldn't take it to well if I said that).
15. (by magazine) "Girls love being tied up it gives them the chance to be the helpless victim."
It's called "bondage" (not to be confused with S&M). It isn't exactly a secret that "some" people, including some females, enjoy this. The "helpless victim" portion is speculation on their reasons. I've never actually asked anyone if that is why they like it, but that reason certainly makes sense. Or perhaps the sense of danger. I imagine different people have different reasons.
