@BillRM,
Quote:And when a woman said yes and 24 hours or 5 weeks or a year later change her mind that is not rape.
Why would a woman who has had an enjoyable time with a man, and pleasurable consensual sex, want to suddenly accuse him of rape a day later? Does that make any sense? Why do you bring up such examples?
If a man has sex with a woman he doesn't know well, who might be mentally disturbed, and who might send confusing signals, isn't he taking an enormous risk? Wouldn't he "be asking" for a false rape allegation? Shouldn't men be trying to prevent themselves from being falsely accused by using better judgment about who they have sex with?
Perhaps people should get to know each other before they hop into bed. Most of the confusing consent situations being described in this thread are because the people really don't know each other.
And no one makes a rape accusation 5 weeks later. There would be no evidence of a sexual encounter, let alone a rape.
When a woman says, "No", or "Stop", why is that difficult to understand? Most of the time, that's what the woman does in a date rape situation, but the man ignores her.
Most women do make it clear what they want to do sexually and where they draw the line. If it is at all unclear to the man, he should ask her. If he doesn't get an answer that clearly indicates consent to a specific sex act, he should stop. That seems pretty simple to understand.
