Quote: Wednesday said: I think we could go on all day about the stories themes. Was she raped? Can you rape the willing? I've taken both sides of the argument since writing this story.
That depends on what you mean doesn't it? If she didn't bother to struggle or cry out as he approached and she turned out to be willing (even if she didn't help him), that probably doesn't qualify as rape.
However, if she started liking it mid-coitus after a struggle, does it still qualify as rape even though she stopped protesting?
I'd say yes. People may disagree with me on this, but I think the mind can be raped just as well as the body in terms of invoking sexual pleasure. Obviously the psychology tangent is nothing new, but I expect people won't buy that enjoying sex, even if it wasn't wanted in the first place, is a form of rape. More precisely, I think it's a kind of corruption of character that could lead a personality like hers down a road of apathy and low self-esteem.
