A Poll about RapeFollow

I went 21-35%. But I have faith in my sex... probably misplaced, but there it is.

With no chance of repercussions? All of 'em.

I left out a 0%/100% selection because I don't think the answer is that absolute. Some beatific or demonic individual will skew the results away from the ends of the scale.

I'm sure there are also people who have rape fantasies who would still not carry them out even if they knew there'd be no repercussions, so your rapedoll idea would probably be a pretty solid moneymaker.

I voted 5-10%, but I guess if this was on offer all the time, the number of people that would have used it at one time would be higher.

I went 25-31 as well.

Technically, I have to be honest, I would have preferred a 22-27 fork. It would have reflected the percentile approximation of my informed speculation more accurately. So Joph, maybe next time make 20 categories. That would be my bit of advice.

This. It's remarkable how many guys have no qualms about feeding a girl alcohol and attempting to take advantage of her drunkenness.

Like you needed a reminder.

Interesting, I said 5-10% as well. It seems the femmes have a higher opinion of the hommes than the hommes have of themselves.

This does not inspire confidence.

Like I said, my quote was spurred on by a day's worth of reading about men and their sex dolls, and I do realize the social ineptitude is really a huge part of the situation, but if a man can get enough cash to afford a robot that costs as much as a car, he should be able to at least buy (high end?) prostitute that can at least help with his needs for companionship, sex, etc.

Really, a lot of the men with dolls spend most of their time lamenting about the trials of saving up for a new one, while spending all of their money in the children's section of department stores buying outfits for the ones they already have.

A lot of it, in part with the social ineptitude, will cross-thread shenanigans with the post I just made about over-sexualizing young, attractive women. Most men have this physical ideal of a woman that they think that they will never obtain, and after years of growing up in our culture it can become like a forbidden fruit. I think there are a lot of men who would use their "get out of rape free card" at a fairly young age, I think, when they are emotionally immature and have little (hormonal) impulse control.

I voted high.

I wanted to add, also, that really, the majority of the men with sex dolls do use them because of the COMPLETE control factor. Most of these men give them personalities just like their own ("She loves Linux! We talked about it for hours last night!"), same hobbies, it's almost narcissistic in a way, but it's sad, because it really stems from their fear and inability to deal with a real woman with real emotions that sometimes just don't make sense.

I think I voted high because I supposed in the situation, that the woman would be more likely to be in a sedated state than a threatened one, maybe even completely passed out. There are men who would take advantage of it to displace emotions that are romantic in nature.

Don't know how old the research is or how accurate, but according to this site:

"35% of college men who voluntarily participated in psychological research conducted at several universities indicated they might commit a rape if they knew they could get away with it."

I find that rather scary. But it does says 'might', which is a lot more iffy and open to more positive replies than a definite '100% all the way yes.'

This.

I support this goal.
