| Subject: | Orgasm Spell - Should they, or shouldn't they [Was Mysticism...] |

finally decided to throw my two p into the arena.
I think it comes down very much to a matter of personal mores what
people are willing to endure when it comes to mental manipulation
spells. A number of people have expressed that they feel the use of a
spell like Orgasm constitutes rape, and I can completely understand
their position.
Myself, I'd much rather have to deal with something like induced
orgasm, as opposed to having my mind controlled against my will, or even
worse, having it read or even deep probed by some unscrupulous mage.
After the Orgasm spell, I might feel a little embarassed [well, a
LOT embarassed, especially if it happened in front of a bunch MANLY
runners!], but I'd blow it off (or maybe slug the mage in the face,
reasserting my manhood! What if it's a woman? I'd kiss her first, THEN
slug her in the face!).
Someone using a Control Actions type spell on me, would definitely
get my goat, as I don't like being forced to do ANYTHING against my will
[I guess that's why my characters are usually so willfull!]. And they'd
better pray they were FAR away when I got out from under it, cause I'm
going to wail on them one minute for every minute they had me under. I'd
definitely be pissed.
If someone mentally probed my mind, I'll tell you right now, unless
they had a DAMN good reason for it, they'd be suffering from a 10mm
migraine in about 1 second. I, personally, am a VERY private person, and
DO NOT like the idea of someone traipsing about in my thoughts unbidden.
What I reveal to others is what I CHOOSE to reveal. This would be a
violation to me in the truest sense of the word, and I'd definitely
qualify it as rape.
In my game world, Mental Probing without the recipient's prior
consent IS classified as Rape, and while dificult to authenticate, is
prosecuted as such [a note to all you mentalist mages out there :-].
But, like I said, I can understand those who aren't as offended by
mental picking about, as they are by artifically induced emotions. It's
all depends on your point of view.
Kohl, who says,' first mage that reads MY mind, will get a sneak preview
of what's in store for him, when I catch him!' :-}.
