For any purpose, that is too narrow a use of 'sex'. Sex is also, by  
itself, a form of power. And while I agree with you that any use of  
it in a control situation is 'not correct', I daresay even the 14 yo  
who claims she 'loves' the sugar daddy is being controlled, down to  
her opinions.

Much too complicated of course, society, human interaction, power,  
sex, gender, control, politics.

Delany does a good job of listing a wide range of the possibilities,  
though, without judgment, (that I've noticed, anyway).

What is 'rape'? What's that you're watching on MTV...?
