That said, most representations of gangbangs in film, porn, literature, etc., portray non-consensual scenarios with women as the victims, and it’s understandable why some would want the name of that route changed.

Missionary position in the absence of consent is not sex, it’s rape a gangbang with consent is not rape, it’s sex. Critics say it refers to a non-consensual sex act. In the mountain climbing community there is a backlash against a route at a particular climbing site that’s named Gangbang. But I got this week’s column done with the help of my followers on Instagram. So, my laptop is dead, my phone is broken, and my thumbs are bloodied. I wrote my responses on my phone… which I dropped at one point, shattering the screen, BECAUSE OF COURSE I DID. So, I put out an SOS on Instagram, asking my followers there to send me their quick-and-dirty questions.

So, I wasn’t able to access my Savage Love email – which is a problem, since no questions means no column. My laptop lost its will to live when I was thousands of miles away, in a country where I don’t speak the language. My laptop couldn’t die when I was in the office, with capable tech support people close by.
