Having had far too many times when sex has been essentially forced on me, all I can say is to ask you if you've ever been coerced into having sex when you really and truly did not want to. If yes, then you know exactly what I'm talking about. If no, if you've never been coerced (or worse yet forced) into having sex when you really and truly did not want to, then you have no idea. I've been there.

And yeah, maybe not most men, but far too many men think that if they want sex, the woman should go along/cooperate/give in, whatever way you want to express it. Trust me, I've heard that sentiment over and over far too often.

So again, I'll ask, how often were you essentially forced to have sex?

You didn't say far too many...you said most. You implied most men are idiots and you have to restrain yourself Melon Jun 20 #5

This premise is way off course. You've tried to turn a young girls murder about you and your own issues with men. Melon Jun 20 #10

I disagree with you - force can take many forms - like a father or family male can it difficult to say no Stargazer99 Jun 20 #12

I'll go read it again for "force". Melon Jun 20 #14
