Matty Johns

I am 100% behind Matty Johns. The vilification of him this week has been appalling. There is no question that the girl involved consented to sex with Johns and others. Thus it becomes a moral and political issue.

Did Johns do the wrong thing? Of course he did, he was married at the time and is lucky his wife didn't leave him.

Is group sex inherently wrong? In my view there is nothing wrong with it if it is between consenting adults.

The issue here arises because certain feminist's and others in the commentariat think group sex between several men and one woman can't be consensual. This is of course garbage and betrays a deep hypocrisy which says women aren't mature enough to make their own decisions about their sexual behaviour.

I have seen this sort of thing before - two good friends of mine had a threesome with a girl they met at a night club. Things were entirely consensual and according to independent witness reports she said afterwards that she had enjoyed herself.

Weeks later, after she realised neither party was interested in a relationship with her she decided she had been raped.

The case, rightly, was thrown out at committal - but not before it had trashed two innocent guy's reputations and cost them about $15k they couldn't afford or recoup.

The law rightly protects women against rape, but it is a dangerous precedent to set where society shames people for taking part in consensual behaviour or punishes individuals ex post facto for the changes of heart of others.
