Yes it is, you have two morally reprehensible choices. Unless you mean to suggest that the answer is easy.

I cannot take responsibility for the actions of others. I can take responsibility for my own actions. One choice is morally reprehensible on my part, I cannot own any part of another's moral choices.

Ergo, no moral dilemma.

I would, at the very least try to assure her that there are many people in the modern day that prefer someone who is more experienced, and go as easily as possible. This whole idea of a virgin bride is kind of outdated. It's been proven that abstinence only does more harm than good.

So which choice would you chose?

This is too absurd a premise to dignify with an answer.
This whole ridiculous scenario has the stink of a sociopath attempting to gain masturbatory fodder for his own twisted rape fantasy.

I didn't come up with it.
Also rape fantasies don't make you a psychopath.

Sure don't. But indulging them makes you a sociopath.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Not necessarily, it is possible to act out rape with a consenting partner.
PS, I'm always the victim not the perpetrator in my rape fantasies.

I don't think that's what Cinjin meant. He meant a sociopath who happens to have rape fantasies.

So which choice would you chose?

You couldn't figure that out from the context of my reply?

I would not commit an unjustified act of violence upon another. I would not rape the girl.

This is easy. I'd use my super strength to break out of the chamber, give the foul villian a thorough thrashing, and hand him over to the proper authorities. Then we'd all go for ice cream.
