It seems to me that in many ways, any arguments based on physicality run dangerously parallel to harmful stereotypes. Though, as I said in another comment, my filters do not account for the stereotypes...it is in each of us to derive our personal mean.

Yes Keith, another battle that is damned similar to semantic issues.

In any case, I've been focusing on the fucking part of the statements as opposed to the "before and after" perspective. Does this imply the moments immediately prior and after? Perhaps not so much...a smoker of any gender will wish to light up...

When I slow to truly consider the individuals out there (aka different actors)...all of the genders and orientations, kinky and otherwise, I remember that I am not omniscient enough to define a norm.

Hmm. Are you saying sex is a violent act but there is no victim or attacker? I guess I don’t comprehend your meaning. The word violence rubs me the wrong way. But I still think that generalizing as sex being a violent act doesn’t make sense to me. It CAN be violent but not inherently. Oh well I guess we disagree on that. Thanks for the mentally stimulating post!

P.S. That was not a personal attack, just a friendly debate.
