Women deny but hold onto the idea of feminine modesty and it confuses them when explaining is called for.; 6/13/15, 9:05 PM
Laslo Spatula said...: I disagree with the words of the premise.

'Drunk ON Drunk' sex implies one is domineering -- 'on top' perhaps -- where the male is expected to be.

"Drunk WITH Drunk' sex implies drunk people making a drunk decision together, for better or worse.

This will be the most insightful comment of the thread.

Thank you.

On the other hand, people have consensual sex all the time. The confusion is, was it consensual?

You know the pick pocket always is and always will be non consensual.

Not so much with sex.; 6/13/15, 9:19 PM

Laslo Spatula said...: I have had more 'unwanted' drunken blow jobs than most men have probably had 'wanted' sober ones.

Do you hear me bitching about it?

Women Love the Laslo, and Women Love the Laslo Cock.

And, seriously: have you ever seen the face of a beautiful woman when you tell her "No blow-job, thanks"?

They get sad and distraught and angry. Of course, when women look sad and distraught and angry they often look cute as a button, so the blow-job is back on.

Bruce Hayden said...: So, analagizing to pickpockets, Bob is apparently good with charging a guy with rape when both parties are too drunk to remember the sex. He seems to think that the way it should work is that the first party to cry sexual assault can have their drunken behavior excused, while the second party is responsible for their drunken behavior.

We have long known that he is a progressive tool. This just reinforces it.; 6/13/15, 9:34 PM

Hari said...: If a man and a woman drink and she gets drunk, who got her drunk? Why is there a constant reference to (the man) getting a woman drunk, but never the suggestion that the woman got the man drunk?; 6/13/15, 10:02 PM
Laslo Spatula said...: So my Neo-Nazi Girlfriend who Is Not My Girlfriend and I have perhaps had a few to many drinks at THAT bar on the Avenue that pours the mighty-strong drinks and I decide -- parking ticket be damned -- I am not going to be irresponsible and drive in this condition, so we good-naturedly stumble the eleven blocks to her place.

We fall onto her futon, and sex is soon to ensue, when I think this might not be a Good Idea. Of course, she is sucking my balls through my pants so my decision-making skills are not optimal, but I still manage to say:

"THis might not be a Good Idea."

"What?"

"Sex. We're both kinda drunk."

She stops sucking my balls through my pants and says:

"What the Fuck?"

"Well..."

"Me, I'd just like to know who in your past pussy-whipped the fuck out of you?"

"We might think different, sober..."

"When I come home drunk with a man I am a fully responsible woman, and I fully expect to wake up with one mother-fucker of a headache, a burning butt-hole, and semen in my hair."

So: we had sex.

And: in the morning she remembered none of it. None. Being a gentleman, I did nothing the previous evening that would've left her with a burning butt-hole and semen in her hair. Still.

"Are you... OK? I ask, sensitively.

"Oh God, don't turn all Bitch on me now," she says as she searches the bed for a missing nipple ring.

"I just --"

"You just want to be thought of as thoughtful -- I get it. Do you not realize that most of the great things in this world come from not giving a thought? Babies conceived in the back-seats of cars, babies conceived in the back of vans, children playing with scissors: this is What Made This Country Great."

I nod, then say:

"I don't know where my underwear is."

"I threw it out the window while I had my finger up your ass: THAT I remember."

He's smarmy. He has no macho.

It's one thing to recognize a wicked problem, but to promote a wicked solution seems incompetent at best.; 6/13/15, 11:41 PM

I never watch Bloggingheads, but judging from the still, it will only be a problem if they didn't use a condom.; 6/13/15, 11:54 PM

iowan2 said...: In all seriousness, males on campus should have a 'file rape charges' weekend. Pick a random Monday morning and every male that had sex that weekend should go to the appropriate college administrator and file rape charges against their partner. Bury these bureaucratic nincompoops
in their own inane, undefinable,unenforceable rules. Force the machinery to chew through their own maze of double talk and sexist sterotypes. Unless males fight back they will endure ever expanding prosecution by the SJW's.; 6/14/15, 6:59 AM
Lucien said...: To improve on the pickpocket analogy, if you meet someone at a party and think they're kinda cute and you have a few drinks together and kiss a little bit and then at the end of the night she asks you to give her $50, and you do, does that mean you can charge her with theft the next morning if you were too drunk at the time she asked you for the money?

Because Vegas may have to rethink the whole free drinks at the tables idea.; 6/14/15, 8:31 AM

The federal government, through the DOE's Title IX funding hammer, is forcing colleges and universities to abrogate their students' constitutional rights.; 6/14/15, 2:29 PM
ken in tx said...: I read an article that said, according to a survey, the majority of young British women had never had sex while being completely sober. After looking at some of their photos, I suspect the percentage of British men being drunk during sex is even higher.; 6/14/15, 9:14 PM
