    I say fair play to him its good to see at least one of the Royals acting like a civilian letting his hair down and enjoying life, shame he’s got such lousy friends to let this pic out.

    Ummmm….what does a group of friends playing strip poker, strip billiards or even strip snap in private have to do with my views on the rape thread?

    Strip poker, strip billiards, strip whatever, spin the bottle and so on…games that people play with friends when they’re young and letting their hair down…or maybe I led a life of debauchery? How very reckless of me.

    It’s fact that most rape is committed by ppl the victim knows and trusts.

    If you think stripping naked in front of ppl you know and trust means you are in no danger of being raped, unlike young girls who dress scantily and get drunk at nightclubs, then I am afraid you are very much mistaken.

    As is clearly illustrated in Harry’s example with the pictures being leaked, you really don’t know who you can trust, do you?

    Ah but you missed a point that I kept on making in that thread…my comments related to the poster campaign and the issue it was addressing, not the topic of rape in its entirety.

    Yes the majority of rapes are committed by people the victims know…I’m not sure I would agree with trust.

    Yes if you strip naked in front of people you know, there is a risk, but then as you pointed out people get raped in the middle of winter fully clothed.

    You can live your life closeted away, out of sight of the world and with little or no risk of being raped, or you can get out and live your life in a balanced way. That balance is always a fine line between enjoying yourself whilst taking calculated risks or recklessly putting yourself in a high risk situation.

    Playing strip poker or similar with people you know and trust has an element of risk but generally that risk is low.
    Playing strip poker or similar with people you’re acquainted with but don’t really know that well has a higher degree of risk.
    Playing strip poker or similar with people you’ve only just met is recklessly putting yourself in a high risk situation.
    Going out with friends, scantily clad, where you all get so inebriated that you can barely stand or talk or look out for yourself let alone for each other is not just high risk but foolhardy.

    None of that excuses rape though.

    Life is all about calculated risk. We each decide what level of risk we’re comfortable with and what’s comfortable for one person may not be for the next.

    Being starkers i would think means that either they are totally comfortable having a laugh doing that as they appear to be, as i said a bit like naturists… or … they fully intend on having sex later maybe lots of it, still sod all to do with rape, and to be honest i’d say the chance is fairy low, if you are happy to get naked and mess around like that there is a good chance anything that happens will be consensual.

    On one hand Im glad the photos are in the news.
    It just shows that he is a normal young lad. It makes him more “real” comparid to the rest of the royals, who are all stuck up each other.

    Then on the other hand I feel so sorry for him that the photos got leaked.
    He is always verry cearfull about who his circil of friends are.
    So some little sneeky fecker got thousands for those photos.

    but …then again…in the paper it says they just picked up these girls in the hotel lobby :?

    still……it just shows he is “human”

    Lol @ Puritan side!

    I’m not a parent but I take it that all good books and advice on bringing up children suggest parents teach their children that’s it’s ok to strip naked in front of their friends to ensure they are “normal?” :wink:
