Tabloid (aka The Mormon Sex in Chains Case)

[creekster]

No. I'm neither making fun nor making light. I said that it sounded like a fantasy, which, I imagine, had a not-so-insignificant part to do with why the film got made. They don't make movies about rape, typically. I have zero interest in seeing this film.

Yes, I see the clear distinction you are drawing here. Fantasies are so rarely fun or entertaining.

Fantasy can make you a slave to your fantasy, especially when it relates to sex. From this we can get actual fetishism, among other hangups, including unhealthy obsession.

It can. Or it can be fun. But I will leave this, as I think you have made the point pretty clearly.

I'm not saying that I haven't had fantasies about being tied down, especially when I was 16, or even 19. That's not a commentary on their "fun." It's a commentary on the power of fantasy to make us engage in thoughts that are unholy, unwise, or unpossible.

I would ask you to go on as it continues ot make the point but, OTOH, given the topic, it is better that you don't go on.

Yes, the fact that there was question as to whether the sex was consensual played a big part in the story. The movie itself is mainly concerned with the concept of the "truth" and how it may be impossible to ever know exactly what happened in a situation like this.

Really? Zero interest?

Well, if it were a porno, maybe.

Not me, but I always wonder if it's someone I know.

Another Sandy shout out. GL, you need to get on the case. Figure out who this person is and bring him to the board!
