Stupidity and perversion go hand-in-hand

If you read my columns regularly you now that I don’t toot my own horn very often. But I recently wrote an editorial about how the sexual relationship has been devalued. I can now bolster my claim, with the added bonus that perversity is exceeded only by stupidity.

When I first heard about a man hiring someone to rape his wife I thought it was a tasteless joke. At least hiring someone to kill your wife makes some sense. But why hire someone to rape your wife? That’s even more pointless than it is cracked.

When it became obvious that the event took place my first thought was of some twisted fantasy in which the wife was involved. Then, when the fantasy became reality the wife realized that it wasn’t erotically invigorating and changed her story.

I know what you’re thinking. But such warped role play isn’t as uncommon as we might hope.

There was a story several years ago about a married couple’s mutually agreed “rape fantasy”. The wife was to leave the door unlocked upon going to bed. The husband would leave work on the specified night, conceal his identity and “rape” his wife. To each their own, I suppose.

On the big night the woman awoke to a hooded man standing over her. She struggled and protested initially, then submitted to her “attacker”, fully enjoying the simulated assault. When all was through the attacker left as planned.

The husband returned later, causing her to question why he was still in costume. Guess what? He hadn’t been home that evening. It seems he had bragged about what he and his wife had planned and one of his buddies beat him to the punch.

That’s not funny, although you sometimes get what you ask for. But it turns out that the woman in the current episode was truly unaware of her husband’s plans.

This woman--God bless her--became the unwitting victim of her husband’s twisted perversion. He hired a strange man to come to his home and sexually assault his wife, in his bed, while he watched. There’s nothing understandable or redeeming about it.

However, as nefarious as this act was, the stupidity exceeds even the perversity.

When someone answers an Internet ad like this one it makes reasonable people wonder how dumb our neighbors are. We don’t need to address what a creep the husband is; that’s evident. But he never considered the danger someone so twisted as to answer his ad could pose? Please!

The hired rapist could have robbed the home. He could’ve killed the husband, wife and the children, who were home at the time. What if he had pulled a gun and decided to take a turn at the husband? What would hubby have thought of the “rape fantasy” then?

The alleged assailant, Rodney Liverman, is just as bad if not worse. Even if he was told that the wife would be a willing participant could he not see his own danger? Suppose the husband became jealous; what defense could Liverman offer?

Liverman was in a stranger’s home, doing a stranger’s wife while wearing a hood and holding a knife. Hubby could’ve filled him with lead, and unless the wife spilled the beans no jury in America would’ve convicted him. Furthermore, how stupid must he be not to realize that the wife wasn’t in on the game once it began? And Liverman himself could’ve been setup for robbery or rape.

Political correctness has taught that one person can’t judge another’s actions, especially when it comes to sex. Thus we’ve become desensitized to the level of degeneracy that surrounds us. Small wonder our decadence has reached the point where a man hires his wife’s rapist.

We needn’t address this matter’s depravity. It is obvious. Unfortunately, it’s not surprising. What’s surprising, and perhaps more frightening, is that people so stupid walk among us.
