Responsibility

This is inspired by the comment here, where ladysysiphus says "If you have consumed enough alcohol to impair your judgement, I believe you then have to take at least some responsibility for putting yourself in a position where something like this might happen."

Possessions can be returned in a court if the drunk sobered up and the 'mugger' claimed they were given as gifts. Sex cannot be undone.

Well, no. But it's not like you/I/anyone have/has a limited supply.

Maybe I am just missing a whole swathe of point. To me, sex *is* important (like any other activity that I enjoy), but.... I'm floundering here. People make such a huge deal sometimes and I can't even begin to understand the whys. There is clearly a massive difference between typical thinking on the subject and my own. Can anyone articulate it better for me cos I'm really struggling...

Violence is another matter, of course - but that applies to ANY violence. sexual violence is not (to me) any special case.
