  • Not in my opinion, no.

  • clearly they haven't given consent but in this scenario its not really a legal requirement

  • My consent isn't violated in this case.

  • Definitely not. Fantasies are just fantasies, nothing wrong with it.

  • No, it's not at all wrong and it wouldn't even be wrong to masterbate to a picture someone posted on social media.

    • hmmm some might find the latter to be wrong

    • Yeah. The weak snowflakes who cry over everything. If someone finds you attracted and wants to masturbate to your pic. What you gonna do? What they do private at home is no one's business

  • Another inane question. Congratulations.

    • cool.

  • this is actually a pretty good question ngl lol. I gotta think about it but i'm leaning between sorta and yes atm.

  • No not at all

  • No. They're only a figment of your imagination. You don't need consent to think about someone. They're not affected by you thinking of them.

    • That would be interesting trying to get consent from a figment.

    • @Aerissa_Jade imagine someone asking you permission to think about them 🤣 I'd be creeped out

    • Do u think u have inspired guys in the past?

    • Show All
  • Not unless you tell them about it afterwards

  • No. Lol. Otherwise porn would be rape.

    What you are referring to would be thoughtcrime.

    People have to be free in their own heads at least!

    It is the last damn place they still can be the way things are going!

  • Nay I don't think so hey it's just a thought

  • Certainly not.

  • Sorta..

    Obviously it's your own thoughts, and you should always have free control over your own thoughts.

    BUT at the same time, it's their image; you got the image of them, from them. It does seem a bit weird to use their image sexually without them even knowing about it.
    (Especially if you know they would not "consent" to you indulging in those kinds of thoughts about them.)

  • Nope

  • Only if you moan their name while doing it.

    If not , then it's game on.

  • Of course not. Like am I supposed to text my inspiration to ask if it's ok?

    • Yep. Knowing guys though, he would probably try to offer help 😅

  • Your thoughts are private, therefore you've not violated them in any way.

  • Ridiculous !! Call the thought police. I'm going to masturbate to whomever I choose if they don't know about it, and I don't need their permission. Either do you. :)

  • C. Sorta I guess.
