I accept the concept of consent but I have a problem with people who simultaneously think sex is no big deal AND the biggest deal ever.
If sex is no big deal, then rape can't be a big deal, even if it's wrong. For instance, clapping yours hands three times is not a big deal; if I grab your arms and force you to do it, yeah, that's wrong, that's annoying, unpolite, a violation of your personal space, I get it, but it's a very petty crime. No police in the world would send you to prison for a long time for something as innocuous as that.
My position is consistent: sex IS big deal. That's why rape is a serious crime, but that's also why your partners having had sex with other people before you is a serious thing, that's why promiscuity is something to be taken seriously.
IT will probably print this and come with their bread and butter stuff, "rape is about power and not about sex", which is utter nonsense. A man getting hard and penetrating a woman is sex. If he wasn't sexually aroused, he wouldn't even have the erection in the first place
