I’m really inspired with your writing skills and also with the format on your blog. Is that this a paid subject or did you modify it yourself? Anyway stay up the excellent quality writing, it is uncommon to peer a great blog like this one these days..

Which humourous narratives are acceptable or not often points to the underlying prejudices of the narrators. Rape is not funny. And a hard-on should not be equated with consent. And the no, however faint, means no and not a yes by any linguistic definition.
NN, your piece was articulate as usual but risked offence, and offend it did!
Just by the way, how much of the humour is actually scorn at the poor guy for actually saying, just this one, maybe, he just was not “up” to it, and perhaps exposing, men are not the insatiable Adonis’ tradition paints them?

I certainly do not think rape is humorous or borders on even being described as satire. It is a violent act and it is not the sexual act that forms part of the rape but the violent act of forcing another to do an act they do not want to do. I read an article once of a man gang raped in a park by OTHER MEN, and in all the time he was being raped he had a hard on. So the fact that this “lucky” man can have maintained his manhood to allow the violators to rape him is an honest concept.

Rape is definately not funny. Kudos for putting humour into sarcasm.

James, thanks a lot for your reply, which is much more thoughtful than the “just get a sense of humour” replies I’ve seen around here. Unlike you, I feel that NN IS belittling it and making fun of it (and not in a clever way). I guess we can agree to disagree on that, because it’s just one blog in the vastness of the intawebz.

I agree that satire is important, but it’s also supposed to be clever and to point to something true and valuable, and I still don’t think NN’s piece does either. But whatever. Time to move on.

Nzou. You’ve missed the whole point of NN’s piece. It’s an alternative look at something that is bizaar. He is not belittling it nor making fun of the subject.
If political correctness has it way, satire and humour will be a thing of the past.
Far more tragic than even male rape.

Ndum-dum, I think Thobeka needs your help…

I have heard for some time now that Sebokeng is notorious for women raping men – the men are afraid to walk in the streets there at night. I’ve never believed that 2 wrongs can make a right but it does feel kinda good that the tables are turned somewhere

I see the debate rages on. Here’s some more coal for the fire, from 6 months ago.

Wow, is that how men really think???? That rape, when it comes to men being the victim(if the criminal is a woman,) is a joke?? Well,let me see. The fellow could have been someone’s husband, boyfriend or father, possibly infected with HIV aids and then pass it on to his significant other, or have his life shortened by his female rapists indecent acts.
Still funny, huh?

Ndumiso, even though I do appreciate your sense of humor, and you hearing or reading about similar stories like this one all the time.. We can never say enough about daily HIV infections that are killing our people every day no matter how they come into contact with this monstrous disease. If this man did not have any condoms, his experience is no laughing matter but a death sentence. If it was really instant gratification on his part with no protection, well he is doomed.. And it is still not a laughing matter. Being narrow minded when it comes to rape is dangerous.
