I don't believe he was raped - that would have killed him for sure. I do believe there's no way that everyone (including me) who reviewed it on my flist, plus another on friends-friends picked up on it as a really sensually/sexually staged scene without it being done on purpose.

That said, I'd also be interested to see if any *guys* picked up on it, or if we're picking up on the cues faster because we're women.
