So, what you are saying is that rape cannot exist within a marrage? Is this
part of what you are trying to say? That a woman should be no more than a hole

I _dislike_ that viewpoint, and hope you don't support it. I also hope that
you are _not_ trying to claim that homosexual relationships all involve rape,
either emotional or physical.
