If a woman consents to a sexual activity but then says "stop" would that be rape?

Mon, Mar 29, 2010

General

I was reading in my victimology book that if a woman first consents but then changes her mind and refuses to engage in the sexual acitivity it will not count as rape. I can understand why this is so, but wouldn’t it still be considered rape given the circumstances of not wanting to go further. Any kind of help to make me understand this concept would be much appreciated, thank u in advance!!

    No means no and stop means stop. Sex is only consensual while consent is given and consent can be withdrawn at any time. If sex continues after consent has been retracted, then it is rape. There is no such thing as unconditional or unrvokable consent.

    he she says no then he should stop, if he continues and takes it from her its rape.

  3. Renate Says:

    It is very debatable and that would end up in court.

    i think it would be rape,if the woman says no,that means stop,even after sex has started.so yes,i think that is rape.

  5. Harlan Says:

    If she says no or stop, he should stop. The only possible excuse I could come up with is if the man was right at the very instant of orgasm, at that point it would be impossible to stop. At any other moment, he should stop.

    Most women have been caught in this situation and if the male is any kind of "man" he will stop no matter when the woman says no, in the beginning or in the middle. If he doesn’t and she continues to say no then he is forcing her to do something that she has decided she doesn’t want to do, therefore it is rape.

    The underlying message would be that women should not start something that they can’t control because men cannot control themselves. That seems like a strange concept in a world where we are attempting to prove that men have self control over these issues. I don’t know what to say on this one until I read it for myself. It doesn’t make sense. Stop means stop & this would say that it no longer matters what either party wants because it is beyond control? Too stange for me this early in my day! :o )

    if you put food in your mouth and then ask your stomach to stop digesting… would your stomach be raping your food? from this example it`s clear that once you say yes. it`s a yes. you should respect your sayings before expecting others to respect yours. if you make your "yes" a real "yes" , he`ll make your "no" a real "no".
    see..

    yes… unless the word "don’t" proceeds the word stop. :) A woman has the prerogative to change her mind at any time during the act. It is just harder to convict if she says yes first.

    Since Rape is usually considered as a male raping the woman. Try turning it around. No means No and stop = No.
    I sure am not having intercourse with my lady, if she is having an infection or sores present. Even if I have an erection.
    Sex is meant to be fun for both. Even rewarding.
    (There is a book on being a victim?)

  11. James Says:

    Your book is mistaken. Sexual activity must stop immediately whenever the woman says "stop."

  12. Future M.D. Says:

    A woman has a right to change her mind at any time. Consensual sex is only consensual when there are two willing participants engaged in intercourse. When one party is no longer a willing participant it is no longer consensual. If the woman has said stop and the man proceeds it IS considered rape. This would be one of the more difficult type of rape cases to go to trial because the story would be that first their was consent then there was not. So I agree with you that yes it is rape.

  13. me8md Says:

    That would depend on whether or not sexual intercourse had already begun when she says no.
