Mind Fucking Question

My dad actually came up with this question and I couldn't really answer it... but the question was
If a person has multiple personalities and One decides it wants to masturbate but one of the other personalities doesn't want to masturbate is it rape?

Sigmund Freud would know the answer to this,But what exactly is meant by multiple personalities?

laney · Apr 10th 2013, 4:00am

well its classified as schizophrenia now, but I couldn't answer it lol

fatal Intentions · Apr 10th 2013, 4:36am

is there a true personality, as in the actual person who has the schizophrenia?

I think i'm on to something

I'm no expert but to the best of my knowledge, multiple personality disorder & the like isn't really the same as how it's portrayed on tv. I don't think it's some kind of conscious struggle between two 'personalities' - it's unlikely that they'd be able to 'argue' with each other.

Interesting question to ponder as a paradox, but probably no real world application.

It's actually termed 'dissociative identity disorder'

this changes everything

No. It's still the same person. Imagine them going to the police station saying they raped themself. They'd probably be sent to a mental institute.

That's usually where schizophrenics end up going anyway.

....But that's where they would belong. lol

I know it's not a like question that is really valid and has a yes or no answer but it made me stop and think for a minute and figured people on here seem to like debates or questions that make you think so I figured might as well post it and see what other peoples opinions were of it

Oh I didn't know that in class our prof said they did away with multiple personality disorder and changed it to schizophrenia but it's cool to learn new stuff

technically with multiple personalities they should already be in one

Great observation. It's not like we have any treatment options for people with mental illness, so they should all probably be institutionalized. :rolleyes:

well until they ARE treated, yes they should for their own safety

byfar · Apr 16th 2013, 10:44am

it is a mind fucking question and for that matter more fucking than minded

Gloria · Apr 16th 2013, 6:36pm

Hahahahah awesome.

Well it wouldn't be rape because it's one body.

HistericallyHistoric · Jun 9th 2013, 5:40am

The ignorance about mental disorders on here...*Facepalms*
We have other treatments for mental illnesses like schizophrenia besides the nuthouse. Therapy and pills exist, you know.

AutumnRose · Jun 24th 2013, 11:47am

People who have that disorder.. they're not aware of the other personality they have. As far as I know, they don't remember what the other 'person' did.. So the question doesn't arise cuz they won't remember.. they did..it.

Something like this is a complicated question, not so much the answer, because the answer is no, but the actual science of it.

With multiple personality disorder, a person may have two or more personalities, however, these personalities will never "meet" each other.

When in personality of 'Person A' (for instance the one who wants to masturbate) it may allow the person to masturbate as much as they like as whilst in the persona of 'Person A' this is acceptable.

If their personality was to change to 'Person B' then they will have no recollection of what happened whilst they were under the persona of 'Person A' unless the 'Person A' persona allows the 'Person B' persona to see things that may have happened.

In instance of this example you've put in place, it is likely that each persona will never know about the other one

I would have thought it would be sexual assault rather than rape.

I also thought that the person experienced one personality at a time, so the personality that masturbates is masturbating themselves - so to speak.
