   I listened to the podcast in the car yesterday while running some errands for work. It made it the trip so much more interesting. You touched on many good points, the key words especially. “Adult,” “consentual,” etc. The girl in the case could have claimed abuse because she did not want to admit liking and agreeing to the activities after the bruises were discovered. Her age increases one’s eyebrows to raise slightly. On the other hand, in her country she is considered an adult. (here in the U.S., we keep them childlike far into their twenties. And not in an attractive way.)

   So many interesting questions. Anyway, I have enjoyed all of the podcasts so far. You both have lovely reading voices.

   Glad you enjoyed it. It amuses me to think of the podcast being listened to as people drive around – LOL especially for work!

   I’m genuinely curious as to any other listeners’ thoughts on this one.

   Abel, I expect the reason you’re not getting quite as much feedback as you’d hoped is that this was an entirely reasonable, respectful, and thorough discussion of a touchy issue. I don’t want to underestimate the ability of the greater on-line community to create a firestorm over minor disagreements, but I think a listener would have to work pretty hard to get his back up about this one.

   @Indy – hi and thanks for the input. I wasn’t just looking for critical comment – I was interested in whether others shared the view / definition I’d eventually come to. I hadn’t been sure of it myself when I started the podcast, and am still curious to see if others have suggestions or views. Your supportive comments are very encouraging – thanks.

   lol, Abel, I was probably responding to a certain tweet from your editor about potential hate mail…
