Quote #7
"Well, I didna think it was right to roger you in that state, however fierce I wanted to." (22.280)
We include this quote only because we'd never heard the term "roger" as a euphemism for sex before. Thanks to Diana Gabaldon and Judy Blume, we'll never be able to look at a man named Roger or Ralph the same way.
Quote #8
"It's… it's like… I think it's though everyone has a small place inside themselves, maybe, a private bit that they keep to themselves. It's like a little fortress, where the most private part of you lives—maybe it's your soul, maybe just that bit that makes you yourself and not anyone else." (36.258)
Sex is generally shown as pretty hot and awesome in Outlander, but Randall's rape of Jamie shows just how damaging sex can be when it is unwanted. Jamie feels violated in ways he never has before… and this is coming from a man who has been shot, stabbed, had his hand broken, and been punched in the face in front of a crowd of people.
Quote #9
"Claire, I want you so badly that my bones shake in my body, but God help me, I am afraid to touch you!" (38.48)
After being raped by Randall, Jamie can't bring himself to have sex with Claire. He tried to think of her while Randall was raping him, as a means of mental escape, but now he can't think of her without thinking of Randall. Sex is about as mental as it is physical, so it's no wonder Jamie is deeply confused now.
