That sums it up PERFECTLY! Ya can't have it both ways! :goodpost:
Jumping off your post:
I got pretty bug-eyed reading comments saying that no "red-blooded man" is going to turn down sex just handed to him, even if he is in fear of the woman.
I don't think Travis would have continued sleeping with JA had he feared her to the point where he thought it wasn't something he could "handle".
Men are taught to deal with things on their own and in our culture, seeking help for being stalked by a woman is often called "wimpy" or "weak". To the point that, IMO, Travis tried to convince himself that as creepy as JA was, nothing REALLY awful would happen.
I think even "red-blooded men" can turn down free sex from a nutjob they fear will kill them.

. Men may be more sexually motivated than women (or maybe not) but they aren't lower life forms, enslaved by their penises.
ALV seems to think that there ought to be two sets of rules for men and women and that kind of garbage chaps my hiney.

. And that kind of thinking may be why Travis didn't sense how much danger he was really in.
End of rant. Sorry.
