I agree that when she says stop, he should stop. (And vice-versa. No chauvinism here :-) ) However, that the situation should get to this point is absurd. Personally, I feel that when a woman consents to have sex with a man, she should be prepared to go through with it, unless the man introduces something new and unwanted into the situation (e.g. "Let me go get my German shepherd" or "Wait here. I'll get the rope"). As I said earlier, she can still tell him to stop while "in the act," but I would instantly lose all respect for any woman who would use her sexuality in such a fashion. Lauri
