Well since consent can be 'implied,' then I think that absence of consent can be IMPLIED too, and by the person having said no for the first few times, does that not imply they do not want sex?

Depends on how she was persuaded I guess. And no, what you said isn't forcible compulsion, but can be intimidating if the person has already said no.
I think the point is... you cannot go by implications. Simply by accusing a man of rape, you've ruined his life already. So honestly, if you've said the word "Yes" and agreed to sex then you've agreed to sex, even if he spent 5 hours chatting you up to the point where you finally say it.
