Because I wrote erotica, the psychologist did not think it would be possible for my ex to rape me.10/14/2019
The psychologist who was involved during the court process I was in assessed me. On the basis that I wrote erotica, she pronounced that I would have been likely to consent to anything. Because I wrote erotica, she did not think it would be possible for my ex to rape me. She used blurbs from my books to illustrate the sort of person she felt me to be - promiscuous, slutty and perverted, and thus felt it was fair to assume that I had said 'yes' to the painful and humiliating things that had been forced on me. That I was doing a job in a paying market never entered the equation, and that authors make stuff up was never considered except in so far that my ex suggested it meant nothing I said could be trusted.
