For Men, About Rape:
The Reality Page
a word:
real world
For us, Fantasy is fine. In our minds, anything goes.
We can role-play and explore fantasies in privacy and with safety. This is obvious, but it is taking a while to sink in for an older mentality not yet comfortable or tuned to the exponential growth and change on the Internet, with even more changes ahead.
The fact that we can and do image ourselves in cyberspace as anyone or anything does not need to be explained to a generation raised on video games and role-playing and the WWW. This ceaseless ubiquitous cybernetic reality of the Internet and that is now a given - only its effects and future directions are now the subject of intense debate.
Over the next 100 years, the increasingly blurred divide between the cyberspace on one hand and psychological or social space on the other will be nothing less than revolutionary, according to thinkers like Ray Kurzweil (The Age of Spiritual Machines, 1999).
Think of wetware (your brain) enchanced by info-bots smaller than bloodcells, made to connect directly to the synapses via nanotechnology. Think of computers reaching human brainpower by 2020 and passing the Turing Test (by which a human cannot determine if the intelligence he is communicating with cybernetically is artificial or human) and moving on beyond this. Think of a Virtual Reality that feels very real, generated from one's own synapses: what law there?
Meanwhile,
back in the Real World...
Isn't this obvious already: There is a difference between having a fantasy all by ourselves in front of a computer, magazine, or video and acting one out, just as there is a difference between reading (or writing) yet another best-seller about a serial killer and being a serial killer.
The obvious, stated as baldly as possible: In the real world, non-consensual sex is a crime. Rape is about hatred, power, and anger. It is not even sex.
While we stand strongly against censorship and support the right of an individual to have private fantasies, extremefiles.com and also Domi, Lila & Scorpio personally, morally, and ethically are TOTALLY against any cruelty done to another living being.
If you are seeking "real" rape or torture pics, beastiality, or ANYTHING involving minors, you are in the wrong place. The photos, videos and stories within depict rape-fantasy scenes by enthusiastic amateurs or professional actors.
Responsible Sex
91/2 Weeks Anyone?
We support responsible sex. In rough sex-play always use "safe words" and remember that in real life "No" means NO! You may be surprised to know that many of extremefiles.com members are female, and though they may have submissive fantasies, the thought of actual rape rather than "play-rape" is horrifying and repugnant.
Personally, we and our Master Scorpio prefer sex. If you wish to know the ethics and etiquette of an experienced dominant, you must find one and study the art. But Scorpio can tell you this:
A Master is one who has mastered himself or herself. Consider the rarity of such a person.
A true Submissive is very powerful. She (or he) has the nature of a devotee or bhakta who has the power to surrender to the point of merging into the Master.
Awe, respect, and self-control are not the end; these requisites are the beginning of the attainment of Sexual Mastery or Sublime Submission.
If you feel irrationally angry or compelled and fear you might act out on some fantasy in the criminal sense without a partner's mutual consent, please seek counsel before you commit this crime.
For Men: About Rape
It is imperative that men accept the responsibility to not harm another person.
It is never OK for force yourself on a woman, even if you think she was teasing you or leading you on she says "no" and you think she means "yes" you've had sex with her before you've paid for her dinner or given her expensive gifts you think women enjoy being forced to have sex or want to be persuaded the woman is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Rape is a crime of violence. It is motivated primarily be desire to control and dominate, rather than by sex. It is illegal.
If you are getting a double message from a woman, speak up and clarify what she wants. If you find yourself in a situation with a woman who is unsure about having sex or is saying "no," back off. Suggest talking about it.
Do not assume you know what your partner wants; check out your assumptions.
Be sensitive to women who are unsure whether they want to have sex. If you put pressure on them, you may be forcing them.
Do not assume you both want the same degree of intimacy. She may be interested in some sexual contact other than intercourse. There may be several kinds of sexual activity you mutually agree to share.
Stay in touch with your sexual desires. Ask yourself if you are really hearing what she wants. Do not let your desires control your actions.
Communicate your sexual desires honestly and as early as possible.
If you have any doubts about what your partner wants, STOP, ASK, CLARIFY.
Your desires may be beyond your control, but your actions are within your control. Sexual excitement does not justify forced sex.
Do not assume her desire for affection is the same desire for intercourse.
Not having sex or not "scoring" does not mean you are not a "real man." It is OK not to "score."
A woman who turns you down for sex is not necessarily rejecting you as a person; she is expressing her decision not to participate in a single act at that time.
No one asks to be raped. No matter how a woman behaves, she does not deserve to have her body used in ways she does not want.
"No" means no. If you do not accept a woman's "no," you might risk raping someone whom you thought meant "yes."
Taking sexual advantage of a person who is mentally or physically incapable of giving consent (for example, drunk) is rape. If a woman has had too much to drink and has passed out, or is not in control of herself, having sex with her is rape.
The fact that you were intoxicated is not a legal defense to rape. You are responsible for your actions, whether you are sober or not.
Be aware that a man's size and physical presence can be intimidating to a woman. Many victims report that the fear they felt based on a man's size and presence was the reason they did not fight back or struggle.
Note: Men can be victims of rape and have the same rights to counseling and legal action as women do.
