I disagree strongly. There is no more a continuum from extramarital sex to sexual assault than there is one from asking for a phone number to sexual assault. Can we please not forget that sexual assault is about coercion and harm? https://twitter.com/bals2thewall/status/929044159532544000 …

His point is that by abandoning the idea of 1 exclusive partner for life & making sex freely available we have created conditions for abuse

And that's what I'm disagreeing with. The idea that not committing to only ever having sex with one person in our lives somehow leads to normalising sexual abuse.

It's not an idea I'm comfortable with either, but could LCK have ever done those things in a culture that frowned upon sex outside marriage?

Imho yes. Stigmatising sex leads to abuse being easier, not harder, hide. And probably more common too.

LCK said in his statement today "I thought it was okay because I asked first." He couldn't have asked in a more prudish culture that's all.

You think the mores of the society have no bearing whatsoever on men's sexual behaviour?

I agreed that he couldn't have asked in a culture in which consent for extra-marital sex is not asked

Ha! Clever, but tricky and sidestepping. Would he have done it (the action, not the asking) under those conditions, is the question?

Its hard to get stats on sexual assault from countries where extra-marital sex is illegal or taboo because women are afraid to tell anyone. So, I don't know.

And that's precisely the point. Stigmatised sex is the cloak behind which abusers -still- hide.
