We do?

HellsBells--I thought that kind of thinking went out with the seventies--and, no matter how you dress it up, "ravished" means "raped".

Ever read Joyce Carol Oates--MAN CRAZY? Might be interesting for you. Just a random thought.

Transitive verb
ravish

1-To seize and carry away by violence; to snatch by force.
2-To transport with joy or delight; to delight to ecstasy.
3-To have carnal knowledge of somebody (male or female) by force and against their consent; to rape
After checking 18 dictionaries, about half are hip enough to put the rape meaning 2nd, 3rd or 4th.

Besides, who ya gonna believe, me or some stupid book. :p
