if a woman cant trust herself when she is drunk, maybe she shouldent get drunk then.
if she is just going to sleep with men because she is drunk maybe alcohol is too strong for her weak mind.
It's usually more the case that she can't trust men.
Agreed. If she wasn't so drunk that she was unable to give consent to sex, then she is responsible for the consequences of her own voluntary act. But if she was too drunk to know what she was doing, we have a whole different ball game.
I've always wondered what exactly people mean when they talk about being "too drunk to know what they were doing." If the person was "doing" anything, they were probably aware that they were doing it. Are we talking about actually being passed out drunk? Or is there some alleged state of drunkenness in which a person is still conscious and able to actively participate in sex, yet is somehow unaware of what they are doing? It's not as if taking off your shirt and moaning "F***k me..." is some sort of autonomic brain function that can occur without a deliberate effort on one's part.But if she was too drunk to know what she was doing, we have a whole different ball game.
I've had some fabulous wild, kinky sex in which both myself and my partner were drunk. You assume a lot about drunk sex for someone who has apparently never tried it.If someone were to be so drunk they were illogical... I wouldn't have sex with them. First off, it'd probably suck. Second of all, why would you do that? Are you THAT desparate? Here's a porno movie and some lube, there's the door to the back room.

I'll say it once...
is it REALLY possible for a woman to rape a man? I mean... if she does, the man MUST have wanted it in some way as it got him hard enough to be raped!
Christ... is it that hard?
It's become an acceptable excuse, no idea why, short of passing out people still know what they're doing, they may act differently but they're still perfectly aware.ppl use ohhhh they were drunk as an excuse.

It has been suggested that men should bear the burden for avoiding false accusations of rape by avoiding any situation in which such an accusation might arise. Specifically:
...
So, let's make it a poll. How many men out there are prepared to follow thru on all of these recomendations?
Maybe because alcohol intake reduces inhibitions?
Except she was perfectly aware of what she was doing otherwise she wouldn't have realised the mistake and stopped it.Hmm, no, I don't think so. People aren't necessarily "perfectly aware" when under the influence of drugs or alcohol. I had a chance with a woman once who was drunk, but not falling down type drunk. We agreed to go to her apartment. We played on the sofa, drank some more, removed our clothes, played some more, ...then right at the point of entry, she started to cry. Duh?
Sure, that's exactly what most people use alcohol for.She "wanted to", but she knew that she shouldn't. She was using the alcohol to bolster her courage ....then it all failed at the last moment.
If you'd have continued after she changed her mind then yes I'd agree it's rape, otherwise it isn't, if she still wanted to then it isn't rape it's just a drunken mistake, call a spade a spade. Unfortunately as far as I'm aware law doesn't see it this way which I think is incredibly stupid. It's well known that alcohol lowers standards and makes people more open and confident, but is that really an excuse? People knowing this still drink, I think they have to accept what comes with that without crying wolf, if someone doesn't like what it may make them WANT to do then don't drink.No, I didn't rape her. Yes, we became friends. Yes, we talked about it. Yes, she admitted to wanting to, but didn't have the courage to go thru with it.
Would it have been rape if I'd continued? Yes. But would she have called the cops? Probably not. But it would have been rape ...make no mistake about it. And, unfortunately, that's one of the effects of alcohol ...the loss of good sense!

Does anyone here believe that a person shouldn't be responsible for their actions if they get in their car and hit someone while driving drunk? If you think that a person is responsible for their actions while drunk with respect to driving, why would you think that they're suddenly not responsible for their actions if they consent to sex? Because they wouldn't have done it had they been sober? Surely most drunks who hit people with their car would not have run anyone over had they been sober. So...what's the difference?
