I agree with your analysis and comments about the reality of rape by trickery. The problem, on the show I am sure the writes thought using Adalind using her powers to perform the deception was a clever  plot trick. But the reallity is society attitudes are changing. What would have been considerd as spiting game is now being prosocuted. The idea of men being able to be raped, some still have a problem raping their mind around.

The same is true of the high scool boy dreaming of having sex with his hot teacher. Given the opportunity I don't know many guys who would ever complain. Take the Lafave case. The guys I talked to saw it as if he hit to lottery. If I had a teacher that looked like Lafave, she would have been the main subject in many under the sheet activity sessions. If given the opportunity you would not have had to ask me twice to sleep with her. I have daughters, an if it was the other way around, I would be ready to have the teacher head.

Is this a double standard, most definatly. It Nick had of been female the writers would have never used that plot line.

It was blood that took Adalind powers and it should have been blood needed to take Nicks powers. The plot line went with an intimate plot to lead up to the Nick and Adalind relation. This is something that has been building from day one. Every one of NIck and Adalind encounters have resulted in some form in intiment interaction.

The first was when Nick took Adalinds powers by kissing her and she bit his lip. This was followed by Adalind returning the favor by having sex with him. They could not use a kiss, becuase the need the result to be the introduction of Kelly. Without Kelly you could not get to where Nick is now.

this put the writers in a possition how do that have Nick and Adalind have an extra marital encounter. They uses magical trickery, hoping views would only see the magical impossibility and not view it as a moral affront to a very serious subject.

I have thought about it and a way they could clean this up a little is. Just like Nick admitted that Adalind was his first. Have Nick admitted that he knew it was no Juliette in the bed. He was not sure what was going on but he knew it was not her. Nick being a pig is a lot better the Adalind bing a rapest.

From a lot of comments there is a split between was it rape or just having game.
