Sometimes I find myself feeling a lot like the character of Howard Roark in Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead". Intelligent, educated and not credited with some of my finest work (when it is allowed to stand of it's own merit) and ashamed of my work (when it has been bastardized by others). I wish I could blow it up in those latter moments and never have it associated with me.
Carrying out this comparison to Mr. Roark, I must then ask myself "Would I ever just walk into a beautiful women's room, have sex with her, then leave without a word uttered?". If the woman is crazy about you and wanted to have sex with you anyway, is it a rape or an unexpected tryst? If she doesn't object to the action as it is happening, can it be illegal? If she finds satisfaction through the encounter, is it consensual?
Have any of you ever thought, "That guy/girl really likes me and wants me and I think he/she is very sexy. I wonder what would happen if I just walked up an kissed/grabbed/had sex with him/her?"
The things you think about when you compare yourself to a literary character can be quite frightening...
