Good story, Miercoles.
I was most impressed with your writing it from the feminine perspective. I've known several people who write as a hobby and I've been told that it is most difficult to write credibly in the voice of the opposite sex. I thought you did an excellent job of capturing the "sound" of a woman.
As far as the question of rape goes, I think rape is rape. Period. If the sex is not explicitly consensual, then it's rape. Doesn't matter if the rapee begins to enjoy it physically or not.
I've known several women who were raped; a couple at knife point and a couple instances of aquaintance rape. One of the ones raped at knife point admitted that, after a time, she began to physically enjoy the sex...once she figured the guy wasn't going to stab her. She didn't come or anything but, she said she kind of liked the sex itself. For her, the enjoyment of it added to her humiliation and ultimately presented serious issues for her as she tried to recover from the experience.
One of the ones raped by the a guy she knew casually also copped to enjoying the sex. Basically her situation was that she and the guy were just messing around, things went too far and he ended up taking the pussy. Her deal was that while she was attracted to him and would more than likely ended up fucking him at some point in the future, she wasn't trying to go there at that moment. Anyhow, dude wouldn't stop and eventually she ended up actively participating. She still thought of this as rape, refered to it as such and rightly so.
I just don't think that the violation of the act can be removed or mitigated by the enjoyment of it.
One other thing: why did you chose to use the stereotypical Black robber/rapist thing? Do you think that the race of the rapist is essential to the power of the story or could you have made the character....I dunno...a Greek Republican with bigot tendencies and still had the story resonate the same way?
Your portrayal of the Black Man's Penis was spot on...as I'm sure you know.
