We're all agreed that the ardeur is essentially mystic date-rape, right? I mean, the men can't really consent to it and to make matters worse they can become addicted to it. But... I recently whilst watching Law and Order: SVU I wondered, what would actually happen if one of Anita's harem actually realised it was rape?
This is assuming, of course, they're not blindly in love with the Doom Crotch. Or even what would happen if someone grew a spine and actually pointed out that it was rape? I know that LKH wouldn't dare put Anita in a situation like that because she evidently doesn't think it's rape and besides, Anita's a blatent self-insert.
But supposing Anita's world was real or that LKH had half a brain, what would the consequences be for Anita if someone actually spoke up and said that she had raped them and how would she react? How would you deal with something like the ardeur in the real world?

Not because they give a damn about the person, but because they have made their control of the person a huge part of their identity. The fact that LKH writes that mindset without even realizing it is pretty damn unnerving.

He leaves her after she ardeur-rapes him and is kept miserable until he agrees to be part of the harem.
He refuses to watch her pick out other sex-toys in front of his face in DM and is punished by having her gang-bangs downloaded straight into his brain, then is made to apologize for having avoided the pds contest in the first place. He's not even allowed to have the refuge of his own mind.
She defines people as "well-adjusted" if they abnegate themselves in order to fit into her life at the cost of the loss of their personality, independence, and self-respect.
