Yes, the distinction between morality and legality is important and useful, despite the fact that it is still blurred because laws are ultimately also rooted in moral stances.

In this particular story, the non-consensual parts are highlighted as wrong - but, and this is where my uncomfortableness lies - the story says that the outcome is still a happy one for both parties. That is indeed a murky area. Using a non-sexual analogy, it is like justifying a bloody military coup by saying that the new regime did a much better job in running the country and so everyone was happy.

Interesting how an erotic story can raise some pretty subtle as well as fundamental issues way beyond sexuality.

(Hmmm, in my introductory post I promised to "lighten up" Steemit. I am not sure I am quite succeeding here ... :D )
