  • Obviously, sex without consent is unacceptable. None of want to do that. We are afraid of inadvertently pressuring someone into sex with “less than full” consent. We worry about this. It keeps us awake at night.

    But sex is complicated. In your description, my “partner” (ie. my significant other, my wife or the person I wish would marry me already and be my wife_) has consented to sex. …but then something happened to make her uncomfortable. She asks me to stop. —and you are saying that the instant she said “stop” that consensual between my wife/partner and I became RAPE? It is more complicated than that.

    In that scenario, if I hear her say “stop” I will probably first stop what I was doing and try something different. If she says “stop” again, I would pause and say, “what’s up? What do I need to do?” By your “definition” I would have become a rapist during those few seconds. (In fact, you say that if you had a weapon placed within reach, you would kill me?)

    Obviously, you withdrew your consent before you even spoke. It took you a second or two to speak. It took him a second or two to comprehend. He may have misunderstood and kept going but not as hard or fast. Then it took you a few seconds to communicate again. In those 10 seconds, according to your “definition,” he stopped being her husband and became her rapist.

    I think it is more complicated than that. Yes, a man can rape his wife. No, a misunderstanding in the heat of the moment (with his PARTNER) is not instantly rape.

    All of us—ALL of us!—want to stop when she is uncomfortable. All of us would do our best to put her at ease if she is uncomfortable. But being confused does not make us rapists.

    In the scenario you describe, I would definitely lay down beside her, hold her, stroke her hair, and whisper to her. Is THAT rape? I didn’t “stop.” I didn’t flee. I didn’t call the police and turn myself in. I assume you would pull your gun and shoot me dead while I was trying to snuggle?

    A man whose wife/partner tells him to stop will always wonder what he did, whether he stopped soon enough, whether he was hurting her, etc. He will torment himself with that worry. But you are saying that is basically impossible that he is not, now, a RAPIST. The moment she “withdrew consent” he became a rapist. He now bears the mark of Caine and can never be a part of society again? (I assure you that is how he will feel.)

    Does he need to turn himself in and confess his rape?

    • LOL. I love it If I make the point that you should not shoot your husband dead in a moment of confusion, I am defending rapists? Nope. No one who reads this will reach that conclusion. Defending husbands against impulsive violence is not defending rape. I despise rape and I want to see it taken seriously. You are making it hard for anyone to take rape seriously by trying to make basically any sex between a hips and and wife rape. If we are going to shame rapists properly, we need to take rape seriously. You can’t water it down into a “gotcha” that will let you attack someone and not expect most people to throw up their hands and ignore you. We need to see rape clearly to properly despise it. Whatever you are doing here, trying to vent your anger against all men and hoping to encourage some woman to commit murder so that you can hurt people vicariously? Will not accomplish that.

  • Morally, yes, with limited exceptions. But legally “rape” and “sexual assault” are one-way crimes in the west. Women can and do do whatever they want to men without consent and no crime has been committed. In fact, they are sometimes even rewarded for it. There are cases in which grown women raped little boys and then went on to hold the child responsible for child support. Most people don’t know that because the mainstream media only concerns itself with the importance of consent when the victim is female. Even when the victim is a child, there is no outrage because the child has testicles and a penis. Some people call that “patriarchy”. Ell oh ell!

  • This is one of those things that soo many have difficulty comprehending. Now you've done it, going to get all these guys that think if you consented that means you can't take it away at any point ever... you've consented FOREVER... or at least until they are done.

    Rape is about consent and consent can be withdrawn at any point, for any reason, it matters not why.

    Marriage does not give consent to whenever, nor does past sexual encounters.

    Asking someone to stop and they continue, is by the legal definition rape and they can go to jail.

    I could also ask him to stop and if he refused, reach under my pillow, get my gun and shoot him and it would be self defense, because he was now raping me.

    The fact that it becomes self defense tells anyone that legally, it is rape the moment consent is removed.

    Guys act like they have zero control over themselves once they get started, but that is just an excuse to keep on going.

    • @Paul_in_Indy Self defense, he was raping me. It is legal here to use lethal force to stop a rape and it has happened before, successfully. NO charges were even brought in those cases. This is not a liberal hell hole where they would want to charge a rape victim, rather than the rapist. Pre-meditated means you would have to plan this in advance, there is nothing about wanting someone to stop as pre-meditated.

    • @Paul_in_Indy It only takes 1 second to stop when someone says stop. All a jury has to decide is, if he decided to try and finish first, thinking he was 30 seconds away and any woman on the jury would likely vote not guilty to her. I would not want to live in a hell hole that a man can keep on going when told to stop, and it not be considered rape. It is not hard, just stop moving, get up and walk away. Don't talk, don't try to convince, don't do anything other than stop and get up. As consent is now revoked, it must be a IMMEDIATE stop without any delay. Sure some could pre-mediate and plan this, but one would then have to prove she planned to consent up front, then do this. I am not trying to give either, instruction or intimidate... simply saying, once consent is gone, it is rape... it must stop IMMEDIATELY, to even go 10 more seconds is 10 seconds of rape. I do encourage all women to take self defense classes and be prepared to kill any man trying to be her rapist. I don't mean shoot to stop, I mean shoot to kill. If I was really trying to tell someone how to get away with murder, I would say don't even call the police, just dispose of the body and don't bother reporting the rape or his death. Same would apply to women too, if a man says stop, she has to stop immediately and get off, 1 second is all that is needed. That is how long it takes the brain to process. From what it sounds to me though, you don't have the ability to stop when someone says stop. You want to excuse rape, butt... I am so close, give me 10 more seconds. All YOU ARE DOING is trying to excuse rape for some reason, are you rapist?

    • @Paul_in_Indy Prove it though that was her intent, are you or anyone going to be able to read her mind to know her intent if it was planned just a moment in advance? After all, what if all she wanted was it to stop and he kept going? What is she suppose to do to get him to stop?

  • If you have to ask the internet if it was rape it probably wasn't...
    My ex had sex with me plenty of times without consent I never considered it rape because A) he didn't hurt me B) It did feel good C) I already fucked him many times before so why would I care...
    Now he also had sex with me when we were broke up and we were still living together when I was sleeping... that time I cried after the fact... but still I'm not gonna go ask someone else if it was rape... it either is or it isn't and you know yourself... geez..

  • Yes. 100% that is rape.

  • You do not even need to ask to stop, that imply something like "Please stop" all one has to say is, stop and he is legally required to immediately stop.

    The sheer number of men here on GAG saying that isn't possible is scary though. Some saying they need time to wind down, 30 seconds or so... is scary.

    Once consent is removed, it automatically becomes rape. Raping someone for a minute is still a minute of rape.

    Getting it charged though, better have recorded the encounter as evidence that he didn't stop or least audio recording.

  • Yes it is rape. Consent must be ongoing and can be revoked at any time for absolutely any reason at all.

    Maybe there wasn’t enough prep and it’s starting to hurt? Maybe you have been sexually assaulted in the past and are having a flashback? Maybe your still a virgin and think your ready but change your mind? Maybe you realized you both got caught up in the hormones and forgot to use protection? Maybe the other person is trying to do something new that you guys did not discuss beforehand and your not comfortable with?

    Weather it’s any of the reasons above or any other ones you can think of, if you say no or stop and they keep going regardless that is rape.

  • Yes. Saying no and then still have him do it is rape. It’s rape if he penetrated you. It’s sexual assault if he does other sexual stuff with you if you did not consent.

    Get away, seek help, leave this situation.

  • The definition of rape is engaging in sexual activity to which one partner DOES NOT consent or is UNABLE to consent to.

    You saying stop automatically removes your consent and DECENT men would stop. It's very easy. Pull the fuck out. Roll off. Go jerk off in the bathroom.

    Douchebags that see you as a sex object to "get off on" would continue going because they are NOT interested in you or your concerns, they only care for themselves.

    .

    Is it rape?

    By the basic definition it is, particularly if he held you down or retrained you / your hands in some fashion so that you could not shove him off.

    That you engaged in sex and suddenly changed your mind doesn't not make it rape.

    This is where you separate decent men that respect women
    And trash that are literally not worth giving the time of day to

    • And the law agrees. This is why trashier men / douchebags who don't respect women & only see them as sex objects to get off on are rightfully tossed into jail to rot when caught as committing domestic or spousal rape.

    • It's not even possible to prove rape in supposed "spousal rape" cases, which is why the Bible doesn't address spousal rape. You are not a man, you do not comprehend what the urge to "keep going" is even in the case of masturbation, much less real sex with a woman. The man is literally programmed by his very DNA and hormones to keep going as long as he can keep going. i respect women a HELL of a lot more than anyone else you are ever going to meet. That's the number one reason I'm a 42 years old virgin. Sometimes I respect women way more than i should.

    • @Wade12345 You don't respect women whatsoever that's extremely obvious by your response. Because men have been tossed into jail for raping their spouses & you spout some nonsense about the Bible. Bible is a book that treats women like chattel, property with no rights at all so HOW can you respect women?

  • Yes. Once you say stop, all activity should cease. Non of this "just a minute" bullshit!

  • It could be. Consult attorney and police?

  • To be honest. YES! I mean if you don't agree on something like let's say a role play.

    I mean you say Stop or No, stop it, I don't want to. It is definitely Rape!!!

  • yes, or at least assault.

  • Yes it is.

  • Yes obviously. A no is a no. Doesn't matter if you say no in the middle of it, at the beginning or it also doesn't matter if you just met, you two are in a relationship or even married. A no stays a no.

  • If your partner says stop, then you stop, pure and simple. There is no negotiating, it is done.

    Guys should not continue and pack it in.

  • Legally yes it is.

  • Yes it’s rape if you’re telling someone to stop..

    • Tiny boobie girl 😘

  • it depends, if its a roleplay it is not. but if he/she was serious its rape

  • No, it's not. if you consented to sex and then five minutes in "changed your mind" it is not rape. It's just you being immature and not knowing what you want.

    You cannot expect a man to stop going during a climax. That is about as unnatural as trying to pull your own teeth with your bare hands. It's impossible.

    • @wade12345 how is it not rape if someone says stop or no? That IS the definition of rape, engaging in sexual activity to which one partner does not or is not able to consent.

    • @wade12345 unfortunately for you the law & police would agree, it's why spousal rape exists and why trashier men that don't respect women just see them as sex objects to get off on are rightfully tossed into jail when caught.

    • @BigWhiteWolf87 She consented to begin with. That's why. You can't say "yes" to begin with and then change you mind and cry 'rape: five minutes later.
