@ Gizz

Rohypnol is used in hospitals as a sedative and does not cause sterilization.
There is an urban legend of the drug Progesterex being mixed with Rohypnol for the purposes of date rape and sterilization, but this is just a legend. There is no such sterilization drug being used on unsuspecting women.
As for Rohypnol (or "Roofies") being slipped into drinks, this has happened, and in some places women have been advised to:

1) Not accept a drink from a stranger, unless she has seen it being decanted at the bar.
2) Not leave a drink unattended.
3) Make use of the chemical strips provided by some establishments. These change colour if dipped into a drink that is spiked with "Roofies"

Edit: damn!! Whabang beat me again

Well, a kidney could be worth about £20,000 if you had the tissue type and medical history of the 'donor' in advance. I know that organ theft has been done in India, but I'm not sure that it was done on the 'gentlemanly' basis of performing a semi-sterile procedure under sedation.
Now wasn't there a Robin Cook novel about somebody who was on the waiting list for a new heart or liver? If I remember correctly, the guy found out who was on the organ donor list, got their tissue types off the hospital computers and then 'helped' people of the same tissue type to have accidents that would ultimately make them suitable for organ harvesting...
I suppose it's not a big stretch for something like that to happen in reality  :-o

I can see Punkie's point though : any sexual coupling against one of the participant's wishes is technically rape, and of course age plays a role where the law may determine that the rape is statutory. And there are drugs that can be injected directly into the penis to force a man to have an erection, so I don't believe the man has 100% control in these situations.

But I'll agree with Dandy on one thing: while it is still wrong for a woman to sit astride a man without his consent, I don't think that act is as heinous as a man penetrating a woman without her consent. I think the penetration and physical damage that may be done is a far worse violation of the woman's rights than if a man found his sausage being put in a wallet he didn't want it to be put in. I suppose if you wanted to compare apples with apples, a man would only suffer the equivalent mental and physical trauma of rape at the hands of a woman, if she used some kind of implement to penetrate him.

lol @ Kenny's unintentional spelling mistake:

Prostrate

The sentence could be modified like this: "He had a prostate exam while lying postrate"

;)

Anyway back o/t:

Besides being immortalised in Road Trip, there is some medical evidence to support what Kenny alluded to.
