COL49 Group Read, section 3

[David Morris]

Oedipal was fully aware of the situation and the questions regarding Metz
character, sincerity, sexual orientation, possible agendas.  She “had let
her hair down” ON PURPOSE, as a means of ESCAPE.  She was sparring with
Metz (some people enjoy that kind of thing) The whole time they were having
sex. And she drank the alcohol, her own volition, fully cognizant. It meant
to be drunk.

I don’t think pension was intending for the readers to be his rape police.
