"Legitimate Rape" = BS

Usually, we only talk about sex between couples. This story, however, is essential for women to hear and see. No matter what political side of the spectrum you're on, this message is pretty nasty.

So why are we even talking about this on GetLusty? Well, in our network, we know and love many sexual assault survivors. I am one of them. For issues of sex, consent is also an essential issue to talk about. One of our main goals is to educate both women (and men) so they can both negotiate and decide what they want most sexually.

Back to the topic--for politicians to talk about rape is few and far between. That's why I'm happy to see his quote across the media. However, it's almost insane to hear about the lack of knowledge. On the other hand, I feel totally creeped out by what this candidate is saying.

I mean, where is the state of sex education in this country that this man honestly has no idea what happens during rape? It's pretty simple, Todd. Everything happens the same, just it's forced. Coerced. It's violent. It's an act of violence more than anything, and pregnancy can most definitely happen during the process. It's sex, Todd. That's what happens when sex happens.

Shutting the whole thing down? What the hell does that mean, anyway?

Please, please, ladies. Let's make sure this man does NOT get elected in Missouri.
