OK, here it goes:
There's this woman named Maggie who decides not to have sex for 40 days after breaking up with her boyfriend, Nicholas (she's giving it up for Lent). After hearing about this, all the guys in her office start taking monetary bets on how long she'll last (because, you know, she's a huge slut and she can't control herself). To their surprise, Maggie repeatedly rejects their advances (!!!). But during that time, she starts dating this guy named Eric, who learns about her celibacy and her lingering feelings for Nicholas.
Eventually, Nicholas learns about the office pool, enters it, and rapes Maggie on the 40th night while she's dreaming about Eric. Eric walks in on them and assumes that Maggie was purposely breaking her vow; again, she's a slut, so she's most likely guilty. Maggie eventually starts to beg for forgiveness, and good old Eric finds it within his heart to pardon her for the crime of subliminally asking for rape. It'll be the perfect feel-good movie of the summer!
...wait, what's that you say? That's not funny or heartwarming at all? That's horrifying, offensive and shamelessly sexist? I couldn't agree more.

When did you first see the original movie? Were you offended upon viewing or did you read an article that opened your mind? Was the Josh Hartnett character raped in the original?

I was asking you to describe the scene because I don't remember it!. Fuck it, I'll look for it myself.

I like it, but could we throw a few more rapes in?
