Is it even possible to be sexually assaulted by your own boyfriend or girlfriend?

Yes, it's possible. Not everyone gives universal consent to do anything and everything at all times to their partner - even if it's something they might enjoy in certain situations, they may not want it in others, and crossing that line could be assault.

In my relationships from the last 25 years, most of the women have more-or-less said "do what you like whenever you like", but a few had certain specific things that were off the table unless they specifically asked for them, and I always respected those boundaries - but not everyone does. And a few people are VERY restrictive and want explicit consent for each act every time, etc. That's not the norm, but it exists.

My personal way of handling this is to work hard to build trust with my partner, which means respecting them and their limits and desires, and because I do this well, they tend to trust me and remove most if not all restrictions - but I have to EARN that, and rightly so. Not everyone is willing to make that kind of effort, and some don't think they should even have to, and that they're entitled to whatever they want anyway. Those are the people you have to look out for.

Consent must be given in every sexual encounter. Just because you said yes once doesn’t mean you agree to every sexual encounter in the future. Having an ongoing relationship or a history of a relationship isn’t a form of consent. It just means you have a personal bond of some kind with that person. This doesn’t dismiss the need for consent. If they don’t have your consent, any sexual contact could be considered rape or assault. Hope it answers your question. In case you have any help or any queries feel free to ask. 😊

Yes, if you don't want, there's no consent so it is assault

[AustinMan]

Of course it is. If there's no consent, it's assault.

yes once you say no and they keep going its rape , just because you are with them does not mean they own you no means no. if thats how they think your dating a kid that does not know what NO means.

Yes. Sexual assault just requires you to be forced to have sex against your will. Like say you never want to do anal, but your boyfriend holds you down and shoves it in anyway, despite your cries for them not to or to stop. That's sexual assault. Being your boyfriend does not in any way change that.

of course it is. Maybe the guy or the girl is too tired that day, or legit has a headache, or something else. If they are not up to it and you try to take it anyway, then it was a sexual assault.

[AndyOh]

Hard to say, but I think so.
Depends on what they did or do. And what you allowed or did not allow.

[Agape93]

Of course it is and it happens sadly all too often
