I do agree that the books are somewhat garbled about her reasons for choosing her sexual partners.
I could understand her not sleeping with Graham, actually, as I've met men who make it clear they're interested in sleeping with you, but with whom you are distinctly uncomfortable. I think it might be because they've already made it clear you are nothing but a body to them, and you know how LKH is about 'twoo wuv'. He doesn't love Anita, he just covets her body, and she wants to be loved.
Some of the most prudish people I know claim to be Wiccan. Go figure :/
In the UK, rape is defined as penetration of a body, and there are prosecutions - but only for men raping men. I understand there is a move to change this, but I won't be holding my breath - legal changes in the UK can take 30 years!
