No need to focus so hard on it being a girl... the OP itself said that if you are a woman, it is a 14 year old boy instead (and you will be carrying his child).

hmmm how do you rape a hormone laden 14 year old teenage boy?

It's a psychological process, based on the interaction between a person's world view, their experiences, and their sense of self. It involves getting down to the core beliefs that cause cognitive dissonance, and being able to re-evaluate the meaning of events that challenge them.

Huh. So..... magic.

Quote:By the way, by "choose," I don't imply any failure in someone who continues to suffer. I'm saying that so long as a person can think about, and redefine, their values and interpretations, they have a chance to reduce that suffering greatly.

Or... this very same ability to redefine/rethink/reinterpret leads them to not knowing the truth, and their mind fills in blanks with unknowns and everything goes crazy.

... Some just want it all to stop. It's quite the headache.

Are you suggesting that you don't know?

Do not forget that said individual is staunch in their abstinence. What one's body reacts with and what their heart desires are not the same thing.

I have yet to see a situation where you only have these two choices?

I choose neither!

Choosing nothing is the same as choosing that your loved one dies.

I'm sorry if you thought there was a way out... there's not.

Suddenly, this very situation can happen. However, I find it is rather... boring.

You fuck the teenager.... or your loved one dies. It's basic coercion, really.

Alice, I think you're changing the deal...
As I recall, the deal was: fuck the 14yo, or your loved one gets tortured... not dead.

Because he is dead set on saving himself for marriage. Like you could still get him turned on enough for sex, but he really doesn't want it.

RE: Moral Dilemma
Rape is a crime of power much more than of sexuality (some rapists cannot consummate the act unless their victim is in distress, or even dead in rare cases such as serial killers). I think that's why it has such a deep and lasting impact on the victim. I think that we are primed to believe that terrible things will never happen to us, and I don't think we can really visualize the terror of certain experiences outside of the experience itself. When something that bad does happen, we now have to deal with the realization that it can happen. And if it happened once, it can happen again. And that can become a crippling terror to have to deal with, especially in such a sudden way.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Yes, it is possible to rape a boy/man. Not every guy is willing to jump into any stranger's arms as soon as she says the word sex.

Their body is still breathing. Remember, I said "psychologically dead".

This is an odd misconception about the male sex in general. Oh well, stereotypes will be stereotypes.

Also, *very few guys* always want (and are willing to have) sex.
