First, I believe anyone ALWAYS has the right to refuse intercourse, although I will say that I personally would feel probably feel pretty frustrated about the refusal in Case 3 unless there was some good reason why (pregnant perhaps) or there had been a previous agreement that there would be no intercourse. In any case, although I can understand such frustration, I still feel that there is no justification for rape. However, you can darn well bet that that would be the last time I would see someone who pulled a stunt like that on me. I don't like to be teased in that manner, and if I suspected that I was being teased like that only to have the rug deliberately pulled out from under me, I would be extremely upset. As far as sluts go, I do not automatically think of a woman who sleeps with anyone she wants to as a slut. Women who do so while teasing and provoking, sometimes sleeping with people and sometimes not, just for the fun of teasing and paining others, are sluts. I think, though, that your questions, particularly the first, are flawed. What is "leading on?" Your language is not precise enough, I think... Flames welcome; intelligent discussion is preferred. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Scotty, get those shields up!" Mark Modig ..ihnp4!btlunix!mom
