Irresistible #3 Advanced Review

Sex, in and of itself, is not something to be feared or shunned, but it is how we conduct our sexuality that is the driving force behind dialog on the morality of sex, which ranges from theology to law to philosophy. In Irresistible #3, we go beyond the basic formula of "guy meets girl, guy gets laid" to a deeper examination of how one person's selfishness and deception can lead to irrevocable consequences, and how those consequences impact the perpetrator as well as the victim.

The issue (briefly) touches on the rarely discussed topic of female-on-male rape, as a common rape myth is that if a guy has an erection, he's expected to "man-up and take it," even if it it's against his wishes. Irresistible #3 also brings a biblical figure into the picture you'd never expect (hint: It's probably not the one you're thinking of). If you thought the story behind this limited series could only go as far as sexual release, think again.
