No, it’s a press release. Issued by the conference where the study was being presented.

Problematic in the context of ‘it was supposed to be about consensual sex, but these girls kept bringing up non-consensual stuff.

It’s not and I don’t. Thank you for your insightful contribution to the discussion.

There’s a lot you are missing. First, this is an article about a press release. Second, even if this is about women losing interest in bad sex after initially giving consent and faking an orgasm to speed things along, it is problematic if women feel like they shouldn’t withdraw consent once a sexual encounter hs…

You sure know an awful lot about a study based on a press release issued by the conference where it was being presented.

That is awful. I know it happens, and I’m sorry you ran in to one, much less several, of these shit bags.

It’s not an article. It’s a press release. It’s not journalism. The study was presented yesterday, so maybe the study is available by now to get a better look.

My initial thoughts on this were that it tied in to partner vocalization being helpful to a male partner’s sexual response. That’s where a woman faking it can make a certain amount of sense to move along a hetero sexual encounter to its conclusion, male orgasm. I really don’t think this is suggesting that faking an…

You literally just admitted not having seen the study, and then stated that you knew what the women stated. We don’t know that. We know how the researchers have interpreted it, through a press release. So let’s not read more in to it than is available. We certainly don’t know that any of the women stated anything…

Have you seen this very small study? Because what’s linked to is a press release. We don’t know based on that what the women stated, if it was clear, and if the characterization of their lack of choices other than faking an orgasm to end the sexual encounter really meant they were in fear for their safety if they said…

Your attacks are misplaced.

You’re getting a lot of nastyo was directed at you for a reasonable comment. Sorry!

If you find it so tedious, you could always stop responding? Or is someone holding a gum against your head and forcing you to respond? If so, write something in code so I know to contact authorities.

I see that it isn’t a problem for you. Perhaps if you were less judgmental and more empathetic in this matter, it would be.

Yes, and that’s sort of the problem. You feel comfortable passing judgment on other’s relationships. That may be your opinion, and you’re certainly free to have an opinion. But other people are free to criticize you for feeling free to offer your opinion and judgement of other’s relationship circumstances. You’d do…

Maybe you should go back and reread your initial comment in this thread. You were definitely not expressing an opinion that only applied to you and your relationship. And if you think you did, your communication skills aren’t nearly as great as you seem to think they are.

You’re the one using words like pathetic to describe the particulars of others relationships that aren’t like yours, so maybe give that detail about yourself some thought.

That’s how *you* see it. Others don’t see the same way you do. Once you get that, other’s people choices and living their lives differently than you will make a bit more sense.

Personalities definitely play a part. I’m aware of one straight couple where the now wife said after a couple years of dating they were either advancing the relationship to marriage, or she was out. Some people are just scared of commitment, and he was the type who had to decided what was scarier - making a legal…

I think that’s more about the ultimatum being the end of a relatiorelationship no where, and that is often the point. It’s basically telling someone “here is where we need to go in order for me to stay in this relationship.” not surprisingly, many who hear that decide the person isn’t who they want to commit a…
