Response to TBF (Reply #64)

67. Trust me, I wasn't offering Example 1 as relationship advice.

 

You seem to be counseling me as to why the hypothetical athlete is a bad role model -- a proposition I already believe. The issue is where we draw the line between "That's his personal style, but I sure as hell wouldn't do it" and "That was rape."

Of course, the man in Example 1 might respond to both of us by saying that he values the sex more than the relationship. He'd say, "If the relationship is over then so be it. I'll just move on to my next target." (And he's the type who might well use the word "target" in this context.)
