Well, my point is that the characters don't seem to consider it rape because it's such a privilege to fuck Merita, resulting in orgasms that register on the Richter scale, so why should we? (sarcasm alert)
The whole thing basically comes across to me as, "You were raped by George Clooney. But OMG, it was GEORGE CLOONEY, why are you complaining?"
Apologies to Mr. Clooney, but his name was just the first that came to mind.
I do agree, though, it is really f'ed up. If it's not straight out rape, it's coercion and a whole bunch of 'not quite rape but still really creepy and wrong'.
Then again, society in general has such a horrible double standard when it comes to sexual abuse/violence against men, so it really doesn't surprise me to see it here.
