You feel sorry for him??

She was choked by him, a very d*unk guy, scared to leave in case he got angry and he then inflicted those bites on her - those marks look awful for non-consensual pain!

I feel sick that you think that's even remotely ok?

Totally agree amyfarrahfowler.

Just because it happens during sex, it doesn't mean anything is acceptable. Some men don't know when to stop.

This is what disturbs me about all the Mr Grey wannabes. Suddenly it's ok to find beating a woman sexually exciting.

"What on earth possessed her to have sex with someone who was 'blind d*unk'?"

How is that relevant?

Do you attack people when you're blind d*unk?

I agree with this! Unless the person is willing (not scared willing) it shouldn't happen!

She had an on off relationship with him. It wasn't the first time they'd had sex. I'm sure my husband and I have had "blind d*unk" sex more than once.

Blind d*unk sex is usually giggly and silly and fun.

Not violent.

Don't blame her. He did something wrong. She didn't.

Yeah I do.

She knew he was blind d*unk.

When she said no, he then stopped.

It was his evidence rough sex had been part of their previous relationship.

When they stopped the first time she then went back to bed with him.

None of us know all the facts, admittedly, but at what point in sex do we draw out all the rules and say yes to this and no that, we don't, well not unless you are on hear.

Convictions of this nature are dangerous. From what has been printed, it was not expressly clear prior to him doing the acts she was not comfortable with them.

I'm not so concerned about it going 'wrong'. I know such a post would cause a stir as its an area of debate.

My concern is the safety of such a conviction.

Because it happens behind closed doors, must everyone turn a blind eye?

Until you've been in a threatening abusive relationship, it's easy to have your particular viewpoint.

No. But then I don't attack someone when I'm sober. As it happens - when I get d*unk (which I don't these days) - I get very quiet.

When someone is blind d*unk - it should be plainly obvious that their sense of where boundaries should exist is distorted.

I have no idea from the article of their sexual dynamics. I have bitten someone in the past because I knew that turned her on - and I've left more of a mark that was expected.

We risk reverting to vanilla sex in fear of being hauled to court for any mark we might leave in the future

Having sympathy for someone can be distinguished from endorsing their behaviour. At no point do I endorse it.

I have very little interest in meeting anybody who cannot distinguish between the two.

My friend likes 'rougher sex' more that I do. I try to please her without doing something I'm uncomfortable with. The first time she said stop - I did. And I got a very frost reaction. I've learned to recognise when 'stop' means 'stop' and not 'carry on a bit more'... I try to err on the side of caution. If I'd been drinking - I'm not sure I'd know when that point had occurred.

It's sometimes a very fine line

Quite. And drink impairs my 'performance' - that's why I never drink before or during sex.

This is what safewords are for.

'Stop' is confusing, as it's often just part of the theatre for some women.

Something silly like 'pedalbin' or 'bubblegum' usually has a better effect!

Yeah I'm pretty sure shouting at bubblegum would pretty much kill the moment. The term 'No' should certainly not be used

Titz Towers, North Notts

The law on assault is somewhat complicated. There are only certain situations where you can be taken to having consented to it. Mostly those involving sport, boxing, football and so on.

Sexually, the leading case is R v Brown This was BDSM sex, with full consent given, but it was still deemed to be a case of assault. This case is 20 years old or so and would probably be decided differently now, but is still good law.

At what point? I have no idea. The fact he's been charged and convicted pretty much says that at some point she must have said no though.

This case is kinda close to my heart. There's a lad that I know of that was accused by several past partners of doing very similar things, the police did nothing. He then went on to rape someone very close to me. The victim was put through absolute hell trying to prove what happened, he was politely interviewed and then released. His following Facebook updates went on to name the victim and give her all manner of abuse (egged on by his friends). After little investigation he wasn't charged and his victim is now a virtual recluse, afraid to go out for fear of bumping into him or one of his friends.

So excuse my not agreeing with your sympathy.

If you're playing in a manner that requires safe words then surely BOTH people should be clever enough not to do it while intoxicated.

This isn't the first case where this has happened and it won't be the last. I absolutely agree that no means no in any situation, but at the same time, believe that we are ALL responsible for our own actions and the decisions we take.

Alcohol and sex don't always mix well. As you said you can't determine when you have crossed the line and had so much you lose your rational thinking. She may be partly to blame for not being a responsible person and saying we're too d*unk,but she may have crossed the line too.

R V Brown was, as I understand it, quite close to my home town. I think it only come to light as they recorded it and returned the wrong video to a video shop of sorts. I might be wrong.

I'm not so sure it would be decided differently today. Whilst admittedly society has changed and far more people consider rough sex the norm, or at least far people know about it due to porn, I still think it would be ruled that you cannot consent to certain things. If you could consent do anything happening to you, it would be a very dangerous precedent.

But what about those that like being choked, slapped, bitten durin sex? X it becomes a bit cloudy and him being d*unk meant that he was clumsy with it x ( she states he picked her up and bumped her head)

Btw I think they were both silly to have d*unken sex.. And it's a harsh lesson.

She was upset and crying when he choked her. She said no and he let go and laughed at her?

He didn't let go and say "oh **** are you ok?".

He laughed at her?

And when he was sober and saw the bite mark photos even he was shocked. So this was obviously not the sort of rough play they usually engaged in.

If it's consensual - fine. I have zero issues with rough sex, I enjoy it on occasion.

If it's in the heat of the moment and the biter is apologetic or whatever then that's acceptable as long as it's an isolated incident.

To openly laugh at the other person's distress is abusive.

These kinds of cases are difficult to prove and the police only go after those who they're confident that they have enough evidence to correctly convict.

I'll say again, if it's non-consensual it's assault.

Forgive me If I missed this but at what point did she say no and did he continue? Its a genuine question

At what point? I have no idea. The fact he's been charged and convicted pretty much says that at some point she must have said no though.

This case is kinda close to my heart. There's a lad that I know of that was accused by several past partners of doing very similar things, the police did nothing. He then went on to rape someone very close to me. The victim was put through absolute hell trying to prove what happened, he was politely interviewed and then released. His following Facebook updates went on to name the victim and give her all manner of abuse (egged on by his friends). After little investigation he wasn't charged and his victim is now a virtual recluse, afraid to go out for fear of bumping into him or one of his friends.

So excuse my not agreeing with your sympathy.

Whilst I have sympathy for what you have gone through with your friends circs, to assume she has said no is incorrect. This sort of leads me onto my point.

Maybe I haven't expressed myself clearly enough and should have refrained from suggesting I was sympathetic towards him. The point in all of this which concerns me is that it is not clear that she did say no and that he continued. What happens if next week one of us bites our partner in the heat of the moment or spanks him/her and they don't like it, where do we go from there? As per someone else's post, its a thin line

If it's consensual - fine. I have zero issues with rough sex, I enjoy it on occasion.

If it's in the heat of the moment and the biter is apologetic or whatever then that's acceptable as long as it's an isolated incident.

To openly laugh at the other person's distress is abusive.

These kinds of cases are difficult to prove and the police only go after those who they're confident that they have enough evidence to correctly convict."

I take on board your point that laughing in such circs is disgusting.

In my personal opinion, and again without knowing all the facts, I do think the Police/CPS went out on a limb with this one a bit but they secured a conviction.

I am just fearful of the precedent it sets for other cases

This case aside as I don't know the story but a d*unk woman is not deemed fit to make a decision about sex(badly worded but I'm brain tired). A d*unk man can be accused of assault if he's not aware of it? How does a court decide how d*unk a person is and what they are capable of. It's a mine field of grey area.

"Yeah I do.

She knew he was blind d*unk.

When she said no, he then stopped.

It was his evidence rough sex had been part of their previous relationship.

When they stopped the first time she then went back to bed with him.

None of us know all the facts, admittedly, but at what point in sex do we draw out all the rules and say yes to this and no that, we don't, well not unless you are on hear.

Convictions of this nature are dangerous. From what has been printed, it was not expressly clear prior to him doing the acts she was not comfortable with them.

So he should only have been convicted after he'd done it to a few other women then?

Regardless of previous history no still means no.

As in implications for S&M/BDSM that kind of thing?

That kind of scenario would definitely muddy the waters. Proving consent would be considerably more difficult.

In the UK you can't consent to Actual Bodily Harm. See the case "R v Brown, 1993" and associated discussions if you would like the facts.

I've cut most of the quote, sorry it was getting far too long.

Yeah basically BDSM and S/M scene. But additionally, what happens in a scenario where someone bites there partner? People cannot tell me it isn't common. Or spanking? what happens where someone gets over excited and is a bit too firm? I don't think there is a big difference between the scenarios I describe and what happened here. Or more to the point, I don't think the Court would distinguish them and that is my concern

If we were to excuse non consensual rough sex because of being d*unk, should we then excuse d*unks who injure or kill people in fights or getting behind the wheel? Assault is assault whatever and wherever the situation..

It's down to the definitions of both consent (minefield) and actual bodily harm, which is defined more clearly, but obviously has grey areas.

I'd say making someone run to the bathroom in floods of tears, then convincing them to come out by promising not to hurt them again should count as "no" wouldn't it?

But surely it matters not, I think we're meant to be teaching our young men that consent means someone saying "yes", not someone not saying "no".

I mean that it's unfair that had the d*unk been her not him, that she would have been deemed not able to consent. Being that I've been a victim of a serious assault myself for me to see unfairNess in the way he has been treated is quite a surprise even to me but reading the report I could seeinequalities which didn't sit well with me

Again, forgive me for ignoring what's posted in the Daily Mail and resulting exaggeration; but I've re-read the definition of Actual Bodily Harm (which you can't consent to):

Where the injuries are "serious". For example, where "significant medical intervention and/or permanent effects have resulted... [such as] where there is the need for a number of stitches (but not the superficial application of steri-strips) or a hospital procedure under anaesthetic"

I think a bit of bum biting and scratches are allowed.

Just don't hammer a nail through someone's cock (this I seem to recall was one of the "sexual" acts which prompted the original case)

Sadly I think the porn world is teaching too many young men that rough sex is the norm and that no means yes. I don't think that is the issue here but with the amount of violent porn freely available on the web I do fear for the standards young teenage boys are going to expect of their female counterparts.

It's off topic (sort of), but I think the problem is with the existing definition of ABH, and also the Brown decision, is that many people on this site would not agree that you cannot consent to certain activities which result in ABH like injuries?

I'd think that if it's been something they have done before (and she enjoyed) and he went a little further than in the past it's not so much assault let's be honest I think most of us have on occasion pushed our luck too far but if it was him trying something new or he has gone wildly further than previously then it is

I admit I'm not a vast connoisseur of porn, but I'm pretty sure in most of them the woman tends to shout "yes" quite clearly. I still say she did not consent in this case, so his defence falls at the first hurdle.

I'm afraid the world has moved on about. I'm not so sure I'd recommend you find out for yourself but popularity seems to be dictated by how extreme it is. For instance throat fucking slapping double penetration

I am not suggesting this as an excuse to him or anybody. However I am adamant that there will be a rise in instances of assault with young boys growing up accessing this material and perceiving it to be normal
