I think maybe the whole experience would be a little too much to process. I'd have general not happiness, but wouldn't exactly be able to sort out what bothered me MOST.
Yes - for me, the fact of being possessed itself would probably far, far outweigh any of the events that happened during the possession. Unless my body was being used to torture people, etc.
For me, the very fact of being possessed would be worse than anything that actually happened to me. The whole loss of control, losing myself is one of the most terrifying things I can imagine.
I see you and I are the only ones to have answered the second question correctly. ;D

This is exactly how I feel about it, to the point where some of the worst nightmares of my life have been about it. In theory, I suppose this is supposed to be about religion and faith, giving yourself to something greater, but one of the things I love so much about the angels in SPN is that it's not what it's cracked up to be.
Happily, over the weekend more people recognized the inherent awesomeness of Ruby and voted appropriately. :)
Okay, I don't watch SPN. so I gather I'm missing some of the significance of this question. So my somewhat uninformed answer is: I likely wouldn't have entered into this arrangement without being more or less aware of the implications. I think I'd only be pissed off if the angel had sex with someone I knew personally and really, really didn't want to get nekkid with. (A psycho ex boyfriend, for instance. Or a close friend with a long-time crush on me who I would NEVER date. Or my boss. You get the idea.)
If the angel was having sex with someone with actual feelings/caring involved, I would probably be a lot less upset. I'm not sure why that would make a difference for me -- possibly because of the idea that otherwise the angel wouldn't be able to be that close to the person they cared about otherwise?
I don't know anything about the demons but wanted to participate in the poll anyway. I checked off that I'd feel something else because I don't think I'd be so bothered by the sex or the violence, but I would be most bothered by having my control of my own body taken away whether it is for sexual and violent means or even just to go around hugging puppies and saving orphans.
Completely agree that the question really kicks in at a more fundamental point. In this case, fandom seems to focus entirely on the sexual aspect - not surprising (yay fanfic!), but it made me think.
