I was raped once by someone who had spent three hours with my room-mate and I in our apartment and had left (supposedly) to go home. He knocked on the door and asked to use my phone (this was way before cell phones). My room-mate was passed out in the next room (we were in college - what can I say? She was a "partier"; we both were, for awhile). I let them in the apartment and spent the next 1-1/2 hours on the floor with a razor blade next to my neck and someone saying: "Scream or talk and you're dead". The fact I still vividly remember it says something though (although emotionally I am "over it", really). That was not consensual (and was honestly terrifying because he was high and I didn't know how good his judgment was about just how close that razor blade was to my neck, etc. And I knew him not at all - at all. My room-mate wanted to let he and his friend come to our place simply because she wanted some of their weed - Christ she'd just met them at a 7-11 and didn't know them from Adam - but they both looked a little "questionable" to me - from the beginning. My "vote" was over-ridden by her loud whining about the matter. Bad move on my part. But it can happen to anyone. Be careful). - Susan
