Those questions that sometimes you ask. (Trigger warning for forced sex.)

I was reading stuff, and yet again got linked back to the discussion of a 2002 study by Lisak & Miller. The fact that this entry contains a poll, and the mention of that study, is entirely possibly enough to tell some of the people who read me exactly what's going to be in the poll, though I will note that I've added two questions of my own.

Poll #6184 Because I'm grimly curious (trigger warning on questions) - in all cases, prenegotiated scenes with a safeword (etc.) where that safeword was not used count towards 'no' unless you feel for some reason that it should be otherwise.
Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: Just the Poll Creator, participants: 38
