You're just a growing boy, that's why you say that.

Which part?

Sex is sacred and more guarded than life, I know it's weird but that's the case.

What happened to you?

Something tells me I wouldn't have any problem getting you to have some hot consensual lovin's with me ;D

Unless you want me to tie you up and feed you Viagra...

That sounds pretty kinky to me. You give him consensual sex and you give me forceful loving.

Deal? Deal.

First of all Irreversible is a brilliant movie.

Secondly. Because rape is a more taboo subject. It permanently scars people emotionally unlike murder because, well, your dead.

PS: If you think Irreversible is bad check out Audition or Begotten.

Here's a permanent scar, You're dead.

Sound like you wanna be raped or killed now?

I personally would rather be killed.

At least then I wouldn't have to live with it... seeing as I'd be, uh, dead. No consciousness, dark void, and all that.

So you would rather miss out on 60 some odd years of your life for 1 very traumitcal Moment?

What about if you were killed but raped first? Still want to be killed? Or will you do me the favor and not lie to me and say you want to live this time.

Yes I would give up being the oldest person in history and living a long full happy life if it meant it was only to avoid that from happening again. And I'd rather be raped and killed than left alive because I'd go heaven and in heaven their is peace.

Rape is considered worse in western culture due to the hypocrisy inherent in judaeo-christian religions, all of which discourage sex as something sinful, shameful, and evil. Violence is regarded this way as well, but to a lesser degree, so people can justify things like holy wars.

I must correct you as Christian who believes every word of the Bible unlike most Christians who just believe the gospel and rarely crack open and read other 20 odd books. To the judeo Christian God all sin is equal. Also sex is not sin, Sex outside of marriage is sin. However many of the more conservative denominations have perverted this to make all sex bad. Rape is definitely wrong because it is not only sex outside of marriage (in most cases) but against the will of one person. The hypocrisy is there yes but not in our holy book and those who do read and believe it. It is in those who read...or just hear about...select parts and impose their will God.

I believe with both of them it completely involves context, you're speaking about rape and violence in movies and literature. In real life are they scary? Yes, do they both cause pain either emotionally or physically(or both)? Yes, but when it comes down to fiction and even stories based on true events, it isn't the same. For movies, you have to factor in, lighting, acting, relevance, build up and music. If the rape scene has either a victim-eye shot, or slightly angled overhead shot, it's going to see very disturbing, also, if the woman(or man) is screaming and asking for it to stop, that also traumatizes the viewer. As of late, the angles and such of murders have changed, now they even put them as head-on 3D action scenes.

In literature, it is completely about description either scene, the more well described the feelings are, the stronger the scene becomes. In the case of rape the victim often lives through it.(If they are writing a story based on a true event, or even a fiction with gathered knowledge) Murder...well...you're dead, no coming back and explaining.

...A true friend will be sitting there next to you saying, "Damn we ******** up".

Both are terrible things and I personally don't see the need to show them (even if they are fake) on film to the general public. I understand violence is every where in the media but must murder and rape be made part of our general entertainment??

To answer the question I would have to say they are both horrific things to have happen to yourself or a person you care for but I think Rape is worse for the person who is being raped or murdered, while murder is harder for those who cared about the person to deal with. Yes many people are able to get through this(rape) after therapy/counselling/etc. and lead a "normal" life but what about those who don't? Or the women who get pregnant? Many rape victims also get HIV and/or other diseases from their attackers, isn't that just like being handed a death sentence? Also their are numerous victims of rape who either attempt suicide and/or commit suicide. They aren't technically being murdered but they are taking their own life as a result of the attack.

I heart you.

Murder for sure is worse. Plenty of people can learn to deal with being raped and live normal happy lives. It's definitely traumatic, but there is life after rape.

That sounds right. There's time to heal after rape. After death, you're gone.

I understand this arguement but I don't agree with it perhaps because I believe in life after death and life in heaven.

Theyre both horrible. there are no exceptions. You may take a life away literally but the life of the person you raped will always be in the absolute horror that one day it may happen again. I mean its rape. you don't see it coming obviously, so the person is always going to be looking over their back wondering when its gonna happen next. The person probably wont trust any male or female again...

I will argue that I do trust my husband but it took a lot. I felt that men only wanted me for one thing so thats all I wanted them for. I didn't learn how have friendships with guys because in my budding puberty my guy friend did that. I always thought he's nice, friendly he must want this. Even now as a married woman I am suspicious of guys who befriend me even though experience has taught me that guy friends may just want to be friends.

i'm going to assume that its the same reason that Jesus is showed bruised, bloody, and maimed dying on the cross, but he still has a loincloth.

for hundreds of years, we'd also hang people in public streets to make an example.

my point: the human race is much more comfortable seeing heavy violence than forced sex. i can't say why, or even if its right, but whatever.

In your expamples its the idea of justice. In many violent movies you either feel the pain of the murder or want him to get justice or both. In many video games you are playing as a soldier, cop, or someone else seeking justice. Even in GTA you are seeking justice against the really bad gangsters and bad cops.Forced sex has no element of justice unless its raping a rapist and torturing them and then killing them.

i don't think he was talking about violence as in revenge killing or cops killing baddies. at least that's not what i was thinking of. i was thinking of movies with serial killers, like "saw".

Yes but justice is a factor. In Saw Jigsaw has them fight for their lives in a game related to the wrong they've done. Just like in the show Dexter he kills serial murders. The shows we as Americans show justice without the law which many Americans hate.
