Consensual Sex Perspective?

There is a case here in Australia where a woman charged a man for non-consensual sex (rape). The problem is that originally she said yes earlier in the night and there is no argument or problem in that with her.

The problem arose that during the night while she was asleep the man wanted 'seconds' but the woman was asleep and this is where to problem is.

I know that in the majority of relationships (more long term, this was a one night stand) that if a partner wants sex and the other partner is tired or asleep they do oblige as they want to for their partner or so the service can be paid back.

Again this was a one night stand, what are you perspectives on this.

  • If it was a one night stand, I would consider it rape because he doesn't know enough about her to assume she's willing while asleep. It's different for established couples who know each other's sexual needs enough to anticipate whether or not advances while sleeping would be recieved well.

  • Yes, this is rape, without her consent. This is why you should lay off one night stands and get into bed with someone in a relationship with you. Someone in love with you or at least have fond feelings of you will not bear to have you up for rape. Time for men to wise up.

  • Yes it is a rape. File a case on him. Without the willingness of the female its rape. She sleeping and the male going in her. She is not in her senses.

  • It is a pure australin
