if the story is true, how can he sue her for defamation?

she went through the experience and obviously feels wronged, that's not a justification for him to sue her

Nothing to see here, more mindless Me2 garbage.  They watched TV together afterwards for goodness sake.

If you have attempted to have relations with a women and she wasn't into it, you did the same thing as this poor sap.  Anyone that is sexually active has been there.

If 50 Shades of Something was realistic, this story is a clear example of how things would actually go down 

You compared what he did to just go and suddenly punch someone on the face as if they were the same, good to see you backtracked.

Sure there are different levels of comfort and just because you allowed to have one thing doesn't mean you allowed another. But we are talking about natural progression, you know each other, have dinner, go to place, kiss, get naked, do oral... next would go sex... you don't need to inform or ask before, it's smooth and natural, and sure if you don't want to cross that barrier you say no instead of waiting for the other to ask at every point if he can do it.

Thanks for translating my analogy to someone that done the wrong analogy.

If the story is true she was engaging in sexual activity with him, when she voiced she wanted to stop he stopped. But she is making the story in a way as he was practically raping her... if you don't see reason for a sue, sorry. 

All I got from reading his messages to her is that he is one fine whore gentleman.

The same can't be said about the bitch complaining. This whore, who went to his house on the first date, was lucky to be graced with his famous dick and should be thankful instead of seeking victimhood. It's ok to be a whore, just don't be a whiny one.

Moreover, what possible trauma could've resulted from this "incident" she's describing? Non. Absolutely nothing, why is she asking to feel sorry for her?

How old are you and how many times have you had sex? I wonder if you know what a "turn off" means? Almost all women I sleep with do not want me to ask animportant question like "Is this too rough?", that's a turn off for them. 

I would imagine asking questions the whole session would bother "the other person" before it starts bothering me. And it would lead to a non-sexy experience for all participants.

i completely agree. the biggest reason this situation seemed to occur is both people involved failed to communicate with each other effectively. 

it does bring up questions about what consent is, but also i think more importantly about how to express yourself as well as interpret the feelings of other people.

i think it’s possible that both people could have been drunk, and maybe that’s being left out of the story. i get that feeling from how sloppy the interactions between the two seem to be. 

She dates a famous actor, lets him invite her for dinner, they drink, they go back to his apartment, they kiss....

What the hell was she expecting to happen?! 

This article is not the best article to have a discussion on. It's an opinion piece. I have read other articles that paint the picture worse.

In the end though, all the articles I"ve read they all seem like a bad date, a 20/20 next day regret, silent no, ect.

The discussion shouldn't be about Aziz and whether he missed signs or not, but be about girls needing to me more vocal, clear, assertive and so on in those situations about what they want or don't want.

Unless your like 15 years old or younger, people don't "ask for permission". That is a mood killer, makes you look indecisive, and will make the girl/guy lose interest in you. People like confidence.

I remember when I was young and was going to go on my first date, was talking with a group of girls about what I should do, how I should act, etc., and I asked if I should ask to kiss her and they all screamed "NO!" That you just make a move and go for it. Granted, I'm old, so whatever.

I can't imagine the thought of Can I kiss you? Can I take your top off? Can I touch your chest? Etc., throughout the whole encounter. I think there was some university though that makes you sign a consent form or something now to have sex with another student? Or maybe that was an onion article.
