  • It depends on the agreed to dynamics of one's relationship. However, unless otherwise specified, one always must have consent first.

  • in my opinion, in this day and age, everything is rape. everyone is so hung up on rape. when do we finally stop obsessing with it as if every girl is raped and every guy is a rapist. this topic needs to die.

    • i think you shouldn't need to ask for "consent" when you're fucking married... but i also think saying "no" should be an option of course...

    • So it is ok to rape her when she is unconcious?

    • @shinka1y234 if you're married, what makes you assume she doesn't consent? Would you not wanna fuck your husband or what?

  • I think that consent in marriage is essential. But if you set up boundaries such that one person has permission to act within those boundaries, and even if they don't get permission in the individual instance but it is the type of thing that they have gotten permission for then I think it's perfectly okay.
    Their relationship, and they can set up those boundaries as they please.
    I would love it if I woke up to my wife having sex with me. Not every man feels that way, and that's fine. But it would be something that I would have already given my wife the green light to do.

  • Of course consent is important

  • Its obvious when a woman or man desires sex from you and likewise does not, this isn't rocket science

  • It would be rape if you revoke consent and he doesn't stop.

  • You’re supposed to ask your spouse before you make a big purchase, or go out for the evening. Don’t you think it’s a good idea to ask them before you put a part of your body inside their body?

    • I dont do any of those things. My marriage had enough trust that I just dont need too

  • Yes someone should ask for consent. Than can be in advance though if you want & you always have a right to change your mind at any point. Sex is a privilege not an entitlement.

  • What's this Saudi Arabia or the 19th century?

    A husband can't rape his wife

    Plus it is illegal for a husband to rape his wife in all 50 states

  • Mutual respect :)

  • SURE YES.

    IF SHE IS COOKING IN THE KITCHEN. ITS BEST TO WAIT TILL SHE IS DONE, THEN GO GET SOME PUTANG PIE.

    AND IF THE GUY IS BUSY WATCHING Monday NIGHT FOOTBALL THAT GIRL BETTER WAIT TILL EITHER HALFTIME OR UNTIL THE GAME IS OVER.

    • Dont make fun of rape

    • @shinka1y234 make the mood light instead of depressing.

    • And do you think it is ok to tie the man up and fuck him with straw-on dildo against his will?

  • Yes. He should ask for permission

    • Or she

    • @TinTan88 Yes.

    • She was asleep. She told him that it's alright to do this kind of stuff. This wasn't rape.

  • The Bible says, "The husband should cater to his wife and the wife should cater to her husband. A married man's body is not his, it belongs to his wife; a married woman's body is not hers, it belongs to her husband. Don't deny each other unless it's a decision both have taken to allow time for prayers, after which you should come together again so that the Devil won't have the chance to exploit your weakness... " -Read 1 Corinthians 7:3-5.

  • I think the only logical difference is that marriage itself is understood as consent so the one who doesn't should have to say, "No." in order to withdraw it.

    • Whst if she is unconcious and can't say no

  • In marriage, as it is, sex becomes a chore (for at least one of the 2, it always does after 6-12 months of marriage; definitely after kids). If you add a step of an application form for having sex and then the application form going through an approval process, good luck. Get ready to have sex once in 6 months.

    What you do need to respect is that if the spouse (typically wife) refuses or resists the advances, do not force it to the extent that it causes physical or emotional harm.

    Even then, I do not agree with the term "rape". Rape has other religious, and hence, legal implications. I would call it domestic violence.

    • But marital rape is the as rape because it is done without consent

    • @shinka1y234 You keep on believing that. Good for you.

    • Marriage does not change the name of rape

  • It does exist. There must me consent even within a marriage. You are not your partners property. You are equal to your partner.

  • Certainly husbands should be given the benefit of the doubt that other men don't have. For example, when a women consents but then changes after the event. And, in cases where a woman says "I have to go home" or word to that effect but does doesn't say stop or no like in the case:

  • If you gave him the ok to do things while you are asleep it's not rape. as long as you don't consider this rape , you're good. Plus you gave him the consent. He done it with your approval

    • Even inside the marriage both of the spouses have to agree to have sex. If not agreed by both sides, then it's rape. But you said to him that you're alright with this and as long as you feel alright and don't care about this you're a good woman and you shouldn't listen to people on social media.

  • There should be some consideration of each other even when they are married...

  • I think it's something that we are going overboard on. I think that when you consent to marry someone, that is the ultimate consent! So you have said yes to all. Now, if you truly respect the person, you will not do something when they don't want anything done, or you wouldn't go beyond there comfort level as you are there to please them and make them happy. But I don't think that martial rape is a thing. It's something made up to put stress on an already stressful institution of marriage
