      At lot more than some. 62 million people (edit: visited a porn website, and the video in question has 20.000 views) and I assume it would be safe to say, mainly men

        It’s a miracle women still have relationships with any man. As a girl Dad, I almost would prefer her to be lesbian instead of ever dating a guy

        Not trying to defend the website or the people who access it but the article says they are a porn website that host “any legal porn content” so I assume the 62 million number is a site wide number not the specific niche

      Some people are born psychopaths. They look like normal people but they’re not. They don’t feel remorse or guilt for anything they do. They see other people as resources to exploit. They cannot be taught not to think this way because their brains lack the capacity to feel the wrongness of their actions.

        Same thing happens to people all the time. They’ll send a report and take in evidence that they don’t let go of. The problem is that the frequency has totally desensitized and saturated the justice system.

    I read this article and immediately went to thank my husband for not drugging, raping and filming me. He was like uh, you’re welcome? Figured not drugging your loved ones was one of those unwritten rules, but I guess not.

    That was one of the sickest most horrible things i have ever read. How can anyone want to do that to their wife. It doesn’t even seem to really be about the sex. I am just lost for words, truly abhorrent.

        It’s about dominance, it’s not that the sex doesn’t bring pleasure it’s that sex without dominance (i.e. sex that isn’t rape) does not bring pleasure (at least that’s always been my interpretation, I’m not a rapist so I could just be wrong).

    If you think you have been drugged or spiked, seek help immediately, tell a trusted person and go to the hospital or call emergency services.

    Oh, which trusted person? Not that one. A rando on the street is more trustworthy than the person who said they’d care for you until your dying day.
