Lines: 22 How do you go about proving "psychological" rape? What the hell is "psychological" rape?!!! Is that rape of someone with the mind? In what sense? I think it's utterly ridiculous if you're implying that dreaming of having sex with someone (forcibly or non-forcibly), even though that person says no (in real-life or the dream) should be illegal. I think maybe you were trying to say (at least it's more logical) that you psychologically (playing mind games and the like) convince a girl(or guy) to say "yes". At this point, I'm still not sure you have grounds for rape. I mean the guy didn't do anything until he got a "yes". It seems like a bit of an underhanded and cruel technique, but I don't see how you could convict on it!! Or is psychological rape when screw her brains out (no, arrrggggghhhh, I know it was bad, sorry!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andy Banta {decvax!allegra!inhp4}!pucc-k!agz Alcohol Design and Application Corp. --- Serving people over 21 years. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "You lock the door, you hold the key, There's someone in my head, but it's not me ...
