96. There is a difference between a consensual fantasy and real sexual assault.

Yes, I've met a few women who indulge in rape fantasies. Or just look at the sales numbers for 50 Shades of Gray. Does that mean that people who have these fantasies really want to be raped? No, of course not.

I think we, and the people in positions in authority, need to make the distinction between actual sexual assault, which should land people in prison, and a fantasy, which yes, may be a disturbing fantasy to a lot of people, and certainly something that doesn't appeal everyone, but in the end is done entirely by consenting adults.

Nobody here is defending actual rape, or defending the production, sales or distribution of videos of actual sexual assault. Kink videos done consensually is an entirely different matter.

I don't want to see people in the BDSM community or people otherwise engaged in consensual sex acts caught up in a dragnet. The U.S. and the U.K. have seen these kinds of dragnets before - people doing nothing but consensual sex with other adults being prosecuted and thrown in prison. I don't think that's right.
