To me ... wanting to have hot passionate sex with someone tall (what i thought that phrase meant)is not synonymous with "rape"
you missed the earlier quote on "rape status" meaning you were super horny and libel to jump someone
And this is considered socially acceptable vernacular?
Having graduated from a service academy, where rape is rampant, I just can't go there.

Did you know you can still buy cassette players? I just bought one quite by accident. I was looking for a AM/FM/CD player with audio IN. Has Audio-in, CD/AM/FM, AND cassette.
Now... what did I do with that Vanilla Ice tape?0 -

I agree, it's a little crossing the line.
If you're horny, use your hand. Seriously. No need to make rape jokes.0 -
I would like to thank you for reading past the opening line of my explanation about how i meant rape in the same way people mean murder they say someone killed them laughing.
Every girl in america has been raped or molested at least twice. Its just normal now. Im so glad there will always be people in thos world who get so excited about finding an occasion to be offended. Even if it means ignoring 5/6 of a post. And only singling out one person who said the word, instead of everyone who did.
I really wish i knew why you kept adding me back to your friends list every time i take myself off it. Enjoy being righteously enraged at me belittling rape. Ive been through enough that i can belittle and mock it all i want.
This is america. Everyones been raped. Welcome to reality.0 -
the term 'climb' also implies rape*.
*I do not mean rape in the criminal/negative sense. I mean it in the same way someone says 'HAHAHA YOU KILL ME' - when a person is making them laugh. They are not talking about intentional premeditated or crime of passion murder. It is just a turn of phrase exaggerating how funny the person is, that they could cause one to die of laughter. Similarly, in this instance, I use the term rape as in - unable to control my lust and therefore taking my orgasms and my sweet time by force. Hopefully this deters any misunderstandings and prevents any hurt feelings re: assault vs consentual playtime
My whole and unedited post about how raping people is fun times.0 -
And only singling out one person who said the word, instead of everyone who did.
What are you talking about? Who singled you out? No one in this thread said a single thing negative about you ("you" as in Yoovie). I read how *you* said you used it. I was wondering if other people felt the same way about "climb," and IIRC it was jenbit's comment (not yours) about the (now common?) meaning of "rape status" that elicited my strongest response. Thank goodness she's mature enough not to take that as a personal attack since it's really more a commentary on society than a singling out of any one person.
Tolerance doesn't just mean agreeing with someone. It also means accepting them as they are even when they don't agree with you.
PS: everyone in America HASN’T been raped. If this is your reality, perhaps consider building a new reality in a more positive environment.0 -

If these comments were not in jest, I suggest you might want to relocate. And then get some therapy. Of all of the people I have known in my life, only ONE was a rape survivor. It's certainly not a situation where 'Everyone" has been raped. The best statistics estimate less than half of one percent of US women have been raped.0 -
Sooooooooooooooooooo back to funny confessions if it's ok for an American who hasn't been raped to make a funny?
I confess I'm totally crushing on one of the guys who works at the gym :blushing: I was pretty excited and surprised when he remembered random small details about me from our last conversation :blushing: :happy:0 -

I need to work on this. There's a few girls at my gym where we exchanged names and other misc. details, like our jobs. I remember all the minor things but their name. I can't remember it 80% of the time. Would a girl be more impressed if you remembered the smaller details but forgot their name or vice versa? :laugh:0 -
I confess that I'm back.... I drove to FL on Thurs (turned into a 14 hr drive), back on Fri (turned into a 13 hr drive), opening ceremonies for Little League on Sat and then some other things with the kids yesterday.... So, now to catch up on all these threads and my diaries.

I confess don't know where am at emotionally/mentally at the moment. My dad died on Easter Sunday exactly 4 months after being diagnosed with a brain tumour aged only 62. I am obviously very cut up about that, but indirectly as a result have had major conversations with my ex regarding what happened between us which in the end has massively put my mind at rest as to why we went wrong. The real reason is definitely nothing to be happy about but it has eased or removed a number of worries etc that were holding me back from moving on to another relationship even though had accepted previous one was over. I also know that she trusts me totally, it was just that life conspired against us. So on that side I am feeling far less anxious and messed up than I have for at least 15 months.
I confess I haven't yet properly gone ahead with asking the "friend" out to dinner like I raised in a previous topic, as have had everything else going on. did sort of a while ago but didn't set any particular date or clarify it was a date, but have decided I will be doing that next time I see her, so seriously nervous about that.
I confess I went to cinema with above friend on Saturday having spent afternoon drinking with her and others and fell asleep for 5-10 minutes (8 pints of guiness probably didnt help!), not my smoothest moment but thankfully she thought it was funny, and passed it off herself as she knew I am an insomniac!!
And I confess that I do feel some element of guilt that am thinking about other things like this with my dad's death being so recent. Like I say bit all over the place at the minute!0 -

Sorry for you loss. I lost my mom in Feb so I understand the guilty feeling about going on with life so recently after their passing but that is how they would want it to be. They would not want us to be sitting around morning them for an extended period.0 -

Sorry about your father. Don't be so hard on yourself during this time. Take the time you need to grieve and try not to dwell on the past. You have your whole life ahead of you to date, etc. Blessings to you!

I actually just realized I haven't told him my name, haha. I'd be more impressed with small details. Names escape my mind so quickly.
Rossco, I'm so sorry about your father

I confess that I am really confused about the marketing analytics that are used to place ads on the MFP site. The banner on the top of the page is about cosmetic surger, a side banner is about a hospital in Houston and the banner at the bottom is in French and says something about diets.
Also, Rossco I'm sorry for your loss. Go about your life at whatever pace you feel comfortable with.0 -

It's certainly not a situation where 'Everyone" has been raped. The best statistics estimate less than half of one percent of US women have been raped.
I confess that, living and dating in NYC, every female friend of mine has endured two of the following: rape/date rape, attempted rape, non-sexual assault for rejecting sexual advances, molestation, sexual harassment in the work place. All of them. All my female friends and co-workers. No I am not saying this 'as a joke'.
I do not believe this is grounds for giving up my dreams, living in fear and moving back to a small country town. Nor do I feel it necessary to discuss with you what I have and have not gone over in therapy, because, Im very sorry but I do not see you as an individual qualified to recommend a recovery program for someone you dont know or care for on the internet. I also feel that, had my post been taken in the spirit it was offered, that we wouldn't have to be bringing this up. my post had an asterisk that was flat out ignored. Im sorry if some sensitive feelings got hurt, but reality is reality and I refuse to live in a dream world.
And the statistics are 1 in 5, not 1%. So it's 20% of American women. And that is just rape. Not attempted, not unreported and not molestation.
you are very very very very very fortunate that you only know ONE rape survivor. I know hundreds.0 -
My statistics were courtesy of the United States Bureau of Justice. "From 1995 to 2010, the estimated annual rate of female rape or sexual assault victimizations declined 58%, from 5.0 victimizations per 1,000 females age 12 or older to 2.1 per 1,000." 2.1/1000 is 0.21%... less than half of one percent. I don't just pull numbers out of my *kitten*. I don't make comments or suggestions that aren't founded.
I'm not saying that the numbers aren't higher in NYC... I fully suspect that they are some of the worst in the nation. That doesn't mean that your experience there is typical for anywhere else in the United States, so I would suggest that you shouldn't speak for the whole country based on your situation.0 -

From the report 2Stepz cited:
Rape is the unlawful penetration of a person against
the will of the victim, with use or threatened use
of force, or attempting such an act. Rape includes
psychological coercion and physical force, and
forced sexual intercourse means vaginal, anal, or
oral penetration by the offender. Rape also includes
incidents where penetration is from a foreign object
(e.g., a bottle), victimizations against male and female
victims, and both heterosexual and homosexual rape.
Attempted rape includes verbal threats of rape.
Sexual assault is defined across a wide range of
victimizations, separate from rape or attempted rape.
These crimes include attacks or attempted attacks
generally involving unwanted sexual contact between
a victim and offender. Sexual assault may or may
not involve force and includes grabbing or fondling.
Sexual assault also includes verbal threats.
The report also indicates that the estimates are based off a nationally representative survey of women and attempts to count both reported and unreported rapes and sexual assaults.0 -
