silly obtuse canio.

kenn you didn't read the fine print. personally, the idea of being "ravished" (canio, to me this is more like being pinned and attacked with kisses) is appealing because it's based on a relationship of solid love, empathy, and respect. without that, it's no fun.

[bloodorchid]

But society says that's not true!

well being ravished by strangers, sure

Oh, I know what ravished means. I just fail to understand how it equates to undead persons who drink blood and large wolves. Apparently vampires and werewolves have changed with the times. Left behind yet again. Sighs.

i dunno. maybe physical aggression, romance, and wanted but unsolicited violation of personal space? also, vampires like to savor their victims, whereas it seems like some men like to...ummm..errr...rush to the main course. i haven't seen the series, so i can't really comment on that. the only vampire stuff that made me hot was Interview with a Vampire, and that was when i was an asexual teenager.

makes sense given there was so much homo-eroticism in Interview that I was surprised the book didn't catch fire. It is just something I find interesting...physical aggression, unsolicited violation of personal space...in reality that would be called abuse, harassment and other such terms. Make the dude a vampire and suddenly the panties hit the floor. Just something I find interesting.

well being ravished by strangers, sure

stats don't back that up...

because it's fantasy. it's only fun to think about if the man in the fantasy demonstrates empathy and a desire for mutual enjoyment. it's more like controlled aggression rather than being used. also fun to think about a scenario where hairy, muscly dude has been tied up, but only if he has a smile on his face.

alright, artistic license with the word "ravished."

another definition:
"overwhelm somebody emotionally: to overwhelm somebody with deep and pleasurable feelings or emotions"

Yes, but society tells us that isn't true, and if you rape someone I'm pretty sure there isn't any empathy involved.

Either way, my point was ravished means to be raped.

hmm...fair enough.
