The response said: >It is not really that hard if the guy cares. So don't believe anything >they might say to you. I am not speaking (typing?) of my personal experiences, but of the general consensus of opinion. However,, penetration without ejaculation is still rape (under all statutes I know of). So since it takes a finite time to withdraw, it doesn't really matter--there will be some period after which she says "stop" that there will still be penetration. Therefore, no matter how caring he is, it's still rape. I realize this is a picayune point--but then that's how the law as we know it works. Evelyn C. Leeper ...ihnp4!hocsj!ecl
