If a woman consents to taking Quaaludes from a man for the purpose of sex then that is not rape!


It's "having a good time" from both sides.

reply

It is rape because you don't know if she would have told him to stop while she was on Quaaludes. I am also concerned with you the last week trying to find variables of how this can be deemed okay.

reply

So, if a man and a woman both get drunk and hammered and they slept together. The woman wakes up next morning and regrets it, is that rape to you? Or just a "bad mistake"?

reply

Would you feel the same way if they murdered someone else who is drunk?

reply

Drunk people aren't in the right frame of mind, so it can't be "murder". But I would classify it as possibly "manslaughter".

reply

So we go to people having not-legally consenting sex while intoxicated to a drunk person killing someone else? Well, both parties did consent while intoxicated, but it isn't an legally binding form of consent.

For your thing to work, one person would need to non-legally consent to being killed by the other person while intoxicated. Even if drunk, I can't imagine anyone being perfectly fine with that.

So in that case your person agreed to stand still while the other person shot a bottle off his head, he didn't non-legally consent to being murdered, just non-legally consented to doing something stupid.

reply

YOU DON'T HAVE SEX WITH INTOXICATED PEOPLE...IT REMOVES THE PROTECTION OF CONSENT...PERIOD.

reply

Even if the man is also drunk too?

reply

SO I GET DRUNK AND RAPE A WOMAN...IT'S RAPE...I GET DRUNK AND RAPE A DRUNK WOMAN...ITS RAPE...WHAT ARENT YOU GETTING?

reply

You're using loaded language here. "Rape" is a legal term, a drunk person can non-legally consent to sex while drunk... no one is arguing that you go up to someone who has not given consent (legally or non-legally binding) and have sex. The argument is that consent given while drunk is still consent, even though it isn't legally binding consent.

PROOF THAT COSBY GOT CONSENT BEFORE THE WOMEN TOOK THE DRUG?...PROOF THAT COSBY EXPLAINED THE REACTION THEY WOULD HAVE TO THE DRUG?...THIS WHOLE TOPIC IS LOADED,MOSTLY WITH COSBY CUM.🤢

reply

I'm just talking about legalities here, if you want to talk about bill cosby you can go some place else.

reply

COSBY...COSBY...BILL COSBY...DOCTOR HUXTABLE...SOLVES MYSTERIES...SOME PEOPLE CALL HIM MOTHER...BILL COSBY.

reply

Amen 🙏

reply

The argument is a woman agrees to have sex with a man and she agrees to take sleep medication prior to having sex with him. Once she has taken the drugs she is in an impaired state of mind which means it doesn't legally matter what she says, but the man already got consent from her prior to her taking the drugs.

reply

That doesn't make them immune from any crime. Say they go along with it but realize they don't feel comfortable doing it. They are not in their right mind to say no.

reply

Actually, it legally does... convincing a jury is a different matter.

The woman, with full rational state of mind, gave up her right to legally revoke consent while having sex by willingly and knowingly taking a drug that would impair her.


This is why drunk drivers get punished, because before the person was drunk the person made the decision to drink fully knowing that they had no other transportation home other than their own car.

reply

They do get punished for what they did while impaired, even though they weren't in the right frame of mind.

reply

Who gets punished for what? You need to indicate what your subject is before using pronouns.

reply

Drunk drivers. It's illegal to drive drunk, but any crime committed while intoxicated get further charges.

reply

I clearly explained that the reason drunk drivers are held liable for their actions while drunk is because it requires premeditation while sober to drive to a bar, knowing you have no ride home, and then drink until you are heavily intoxicated. Where you got the notion that I said drunk drivers don't get punished is unknown.

reply

Because you only explained the act of getting drunk and then driving is illegal. Not the other acts that can happen like running someone over.

reply

Do you have any idea how easy it is for someone to get off of a hit and run while drunk? Our laws make it HARD to convict someone if they use the "but I was drunk" defense. It's easy to say the person intentionally setup a condition where they'd have to drink and drive, but the other way is a complete mess and there is a very high attrition rate of people getting off

reply

It's still illegal whether or not it's hard to convict.

reply

"she is in an impaired state of mind which means it doesn't legally matter what she says"


NOW WE KNOW HOW YOU MANAGE GET LAID.😣

reply

I'm asexual you pervert.

Also, it doesn't legally matter what a person says while intoxicated, because that person cannot legally consent while intoxicated. Even if the person consents while intoxicated it isn't legally binding.

reply

"she is in an impaired state of mind which means it doesn't legally matter what she says"


QUESTION...SHE CONSENTED TO SEX,TOOK THE PILL...HE SLIDES IN AND SHE STARTS SCREAMING "NO","NO STOP PLEASE"...

NEVERMIND,NO QUESTION...IM JUST GLAD TO HEAR A PERSONS OBJECTIONS DON'T MEAN ANYTHING ONCE I HAVE STARTED.🙂

reply

We're talking about sleep medicine aren't we? She's supposed to be asleep isn't she, which is what samoanjoes was complaining about, that because she was under medicated sleep she couldn't start screaming "NO","NO STOP PLEASE"...

Of course, you bring up a good point, since under the law what you do while drunk isn't legally binding, revoking a prior given consent would get into some legal issues.

This brings us back to accepting that someone can legally consent to sex while drunk, so that we can legally accept that a person can revoke legally given consent while drunk.

Remember, legal consent has much of its history in contract law. So instead of developing something unique to the situation of sex, we're talking about something that is meant to protect people from making dumb money related mistakes while drunk, and backing out of a contract while drunk certainly falls under that realm.

reply

WHAT IS YOUR DEAL WITH COSBY AND DOWNGRADING RAPES?

reply

What is it with you and rape, Jas’?

reply

Is it rape if both consent to Quaaludes???

reply

Legally speaking, consent cannot be given while intoxicated. If consent is given prior to intoxication then what is happening while one or both parties is intoxicated is legal, legally speaking.

reply

I don't think there is a consensus legally speaking as consent can be withdrawn at anytime during. So, consent can't really be given prior to intoxication and still remain in effect.

reply

But for your situation to actually manifest a person would need to actually withdraw consent while intoxicated, which isn't in the topic. The only legal issue that any sane person has presented is whether consent can be given prior to intoxication and it can be given prior to intoxication.

reply

Yes, but once you are intoxicated you can't consent. I could give consent for sex while I'm sober, have intercourse and then fall asleep. That doesn't mean that the consent is still there for the same person to have sex with me while I'm sleeping.

reply

Yes. If two people say "Let's take qualuudes and fuck", and they go at it while mutually enjoying the buzz, it's not rape. If two people say "Let's take qualuudes and fuck" and one passes out or becomes incapacitated and the other goes ahead... that IS legally rape. If one person says "Try my special coffee, nobody makes coffee like I do" and the other had no idea the coffee contains qualuudes and becomes incapacitated and the coffee maker has sex with them... that is absolutely legal and moral rape. AND poisoning.

Of course the MRA loons are trying to obscure the simple legal definition of rape, because they want rape to be legal and socially accepted, because they think it's their only hope of getting laid.

reply

^This sums it up well. The question regarding the Cosby situation is was it A, B, or C? It sadly has to come down to claims. So our jury must make a judgement call with the absence of evidence. Recently, an even higher number of affidavits have been dismissed in a very big cases due to the absence of "proof."

I think Cosby is guilty but they did extract the admissions out of him under false and illegal pretenses. It is unfortunate that he is out ... but it is legal.

What makes it all so much more messy and tragic is that allegations after situation A are not uncommon.

reply

You have a fucked up idea of a good time.
Don't drink and drive, don't drink and fuck.

reply

Um, it was a big thing in the 70s and 80s for both sexes to take Quaaludes with both consent and then smash & fuck. It was the "in" thing in Hollywood. Also, amongst celebrities at Studio 54 back in the heyday.

reply

THAT IS WHAT YOU HEARD FROM THE DEFENSE TEAM...NOW TELL ME HOW OLD WERE YOU IN THE 70S AND 80S?


PEOPLE WHO REPEAT WHAT THEY HEARD BUT DONT ACTUALLY KNOW ANYTHING,THEY SUCK.

reply

Son, don't presume to educate me on Studio 54 or Hollywood or drugs and sex in the 70's and 80's.

Don't drink and drive, don't drink and fuck.

reply

Actually Jason is correct about Quualudes used mutually for recreational sex in the 70's and 80's. And it extended far beyond Hollywood.
Not me personally... but I've heard many the tales from both sexes long before Cosby was in the spotlight. It was considered like an aphrodisiac.

This, of course, is no guarantee that Cosby used it mutually.

reply

^^^this thank you.

you're weird - and creepy.

a person who demonstrably (it can be demonstrated legally thereafter) puts themselves in a position to no longer give consent puts everything in a muddled state - morally, legalistically. it is, in effect, giving the non-drugged person carte blanche to define & act upon what they alone choose to consider as 'permissible', since obtaining permission is no longer feasible.

i would at least assume, and it is just that, that a person who upon regaining their faculties and finding out that anything harmful or something they had not expressly given consent to had occurred, could press action on sexual assault.

all that said, people who put themselves into vulnerable positions voluntarily lose both practical agency and, to a considerable extent, a certain presumption of non-complicity, at least to some extent.

reply

AWESOME WORDS.👍

reply

And yes folks, consent in sex really is that important, from both parties, and not just because of legal issues. Our bodies do indeed belong to us and nobody wants to be entered like that and invaded intimately without our permission. And yes we are indeed sexually sensitive individuals and sex has enough responsibilities in and of itself, and I would also advise the OP to go speak to psychologist or just read more about the rules and laws surrounding this matter and not make anymore posts of this magnitude like that including here.

P.S. My grandmother some almost 20 years ago spoke very bad about the rapists and who am I, a nice and intelligent, bright young guy to disagree at least partially?

reply

Next thing - you'll be arguing about what does or does not constitute murder, right?
