Re: Is coerced/forced consent considered rape? - December 28th 2018, 06:34 PM

Yes!

It likely won't fit into the legal definition of rape, but that's also why I generally say "sexual assault" because similar things happened to me with an ex and I don't want to have to quibble over how people define rape in order to be taken seriously and if I talk about sexual assault, then I feel like I have ownership over the narrative. But yes, I would consider it a form of rape. Any time sex is coercive and against what you want it's rape / sexual assault

If that happened to you, I am so sorry and please know that it's not your fault. If you are at risk of being in a situation of this happening again, I would consider telling someone you know and not spending time with this person ever again if possible. You can talk to me if you need to, my message inbox is open.
