Who's the most wrong? (fictional scenario)

[Mats]

Here's the setup.

An engaged couple are sailing around the world on a yacht with a skipper and his wife. A storm sinks the yacht and the skippers wife drowns. The skipper and the engaged woman are stranded on an island and come across a wiseman. The womans fiance is stranded on another island by himself. She is desperate to be with him and the only way to reach him would be to sail to him. The skipper is able to make a boat out of the wreckage and offers to take her to him, but only if she sleeps with him first. She goes to the wiseman and asks him what she should do, he tells her that she needs to figure it out on her own. She decides to sleep with the skipper, so he builds a boat and she sails to him. When she tells her fiance that she slept with the skipper to get to him, he rejects her.

So who's more wrong? The wiseman, the skipper, the engaged man, or his fiance?

Post your thoughts if you want to add more variables into this scenario or change it slightly to make it more interesting.

The wiseman is far from wise. Hell even I could have told her to figure it out on her own.

the skipper, he should have avoided the storm

I'd say the engaged dude is being a prick. If someone I was with cared about me enough to sleep with a swarthy skipper just to be with me, I'd be.....not pissed. Or something.

Instead you would enjoy sloppy seconds.

This feels like a job for a poll...
Probably the fiancée though.

And thus, the age-old question:

Is sloppy seconds better than the sound of one hand fapping?

Discuss. I haven't the slightest clue, so I'm quite curious myself.

Like I always said, bad sex is better than no sex.

 

all 4 are equally wrong.

The wiseman for not giving advice when it is needed.
The skipper for asking a woman, who he knows is engaged, to sleep with him.
The Fiance for sleeping with the skipper, when she should have waited. she also should have known that her would-be husband would get upset over it.
And finally the engaged man for being such a bastard about it, and not making an attempt himself to get over to the other island.

Good thing you'll always be true to your hand, and not ever have sex with anyone or anything else.

the skippers wife for sailing on boat and not knowing how to swim

The skipper was wrong. Twice.

Everyone else had a situation that was out of their control, but the skipper, with the ability to make a new boat, made an indecent proposal that was not necessary. In addition, he's the one that got everyone into that mess in the first place. So he's wrong on two counts... he sunk his boat and he made an unnecessary indecent proposal. He put everyone else in a bad situation twice.

Well, the woman didn't have to sleep with the skipper. She did have control of the situation, she just took the only option available that would lead her to the man she loved. She could have chose not to sleep with him though.

However, I would agree with you in this situation. The skipper is a bastard. He ship wrecked two people that he was responsible for. The least he could do is see that they were together and not take advantage of the situation.
