Divergent sexualities

[FrustratedFool]

Without reciprocation, how can there be consent?

I mean, you are only raping your own mind, but still......

If you don't believe objects can give consent (do you ask your car for consent before driving?) then this is an absurd question. Consent is something only conscious beings can give.

If you believe, as many animists and OS do, that their beloved object has a personality and a soul and communicates with them (like a god or sprit), then they ask consent and receive it.

Eitherway, consent is not an issue.

Are you commiting rape during a wet dream? Do you commit rape when using a condom or sex toy?
Such a line of questioning can easily become a sort of bigotry against OS folk, as well as belittling the true horror of genuine sexual assault.
