I Yes I do think that their choice of sexual behavior is "low rent".."distasteful"..." and a sign of a decline in values. So what? Where have I said she is "innocent" or shouldnt be prosecuted? Or that these guys (regardless of my opinion of their behavior) were not wronged?

Oddly enough, in
this thread, you almost insist that there is no decline in society, which, I presume, would include a decline in "values," since they are societal, after all. You also point out that the things many use as an indication of that decline have always been present, and are just more advertised, and this is a valid point.
Of course, "gang-bangs" have existed as long as mankind has: it’s a biological mechanism and impulse.
THEN he is confronted with his girlfriend being a complete SLUT and the mental images of a half-dozen other guys taking turns in sequence with his willing girlfriend..
You weren’t the only one to make this kind of comment, and certainly not the only one to make that sort of judgement, and I’m not criticizing what is, essentially, a value judgment hardwired by millennia of conditioning.
And yet, somehow, if the roles were reversed,, and some guy had managed to have sex with more than three willing partners in succession, and pictures were taken, and the dalliance became known,
you might call that fellow a "complete slut" and a "skank," but most probably would not. He’d be the object of envy, admiration and speculation, perhaps offered contracts for porn and a guest spot on Maury Povich or Jerry Springer,
for doing exactly the same thing that girl did.... Hell, he’d be a hero to some just for getting four women disrobed at the same time, never mind having sex with all of them....
....though it would be more difficult for most guys to accomplish, physically......it’s still indicative of a conditioned double standard, though....
Come on now, we would never use ropes while we take turns having sex with a woman in a bathroom. What do you think we are, degenerates or something?
On the one hand, yes, there is some humor in the "we know how to treat a lady" comment. There’s irony as well, and it certainly indicates what others have expressed, that,somehow,
this was no lady.
Interestingly, there’s nothing in the story to indicate that the woman lied to conceal events from her boyfriend-there’s no mention of a boyfriend at all. It’s just as likely that she made the accusation to conceal the truth from
herself, such is the social conditioning attached to such behavior.
Once, when we all lived in the forest, "gang-bangs" were commonplace. If a woman had sex with multiple partners, because sperm is competitive, she would have a better chance of receiving "the best", biologically speaking, from a larger and more diverse pool from which to
select genetic material. This is why, biologically speaking, women are, compared to men, slow to arouse, slow to orgasm, and capable of having multiple orgasms..
Men are fast to arouse, fast to orgasm, and normally have a refractory period between orgasms. We’re also complete sluts, biologically inclined to have sex with as many women as much as possible, This ensures a diversity in the spread of
our genes. Thus, the sexual tendencies of each gender are predetermined effects of biology, and natural selection at it’s best.
We also have thousands of years of societal conditioning-part of adaptive strategies like
marriage, whereby a woman can ensure the protection of her offspring and a man can ensure that they are, in fact,
his offspring, by forming a family unit, rather than the sort of tribal units that existed in primitive times, when this sort of sexual behavior was probably the norm. Because of this social conditioning, rather than recognize that the woman involved has-whether because of drugs, alcohol,ovulation,
the simple desire to truly scratch that itch, or some combination thereof-slipped free of her social conditioning and regressed to an earlier mode of sexual behavior driven entirely by biological impulses- we label her a "slut" and a "skank" and say "how terrible for her boyfriend."
And it's likely that after the night's festivities were over, there reverted back to their social conditioning, and, oddly enough,
treated her like a lady: maybe helped her clean up, got her clothes for her, got her a drink or a cab ride, or escorted her back to her dorm/dorm room. Odd and uncomfortable, but probable.....
