Question about Rape..

    I don't know if this is in the right forum or not.. But anyway..

    With rape.. Is it still classed as rape if the girl/boy says no a number of times, but then gives in and says yes after the other person persuades them.

    This has NOTHING to do with me. I was just thinking about it earlier, and I wanted to know other peoples thoughts on it.

    I don't think it would be classified as rape if the person ended up giving in and saying yes. It probably should be though.

  • Kaylee

    Yes being manipulated into saying yes when you say no is still rape

    Hmm.. That's what I was thinking aswell..

    I'm not sure.

    So long as the person isn't physically pressured into saying yes [I.E. violence or molesting you] and chooses to themselves, I'd say it wasn't rape.
    The afformentioned choices of persuasion would definitely result in it being rape.x

    No, in the courts it wouldn't be considered rape.

    If the person was to say 'yes' that's called consent. Which means they can't be charged.
    However, morally, it's wrong, and I would consider it rape, but the courts wouldn't.

    Oh...

    It doesn't matter if the person enjoyed itor not. It only matters if CONSENT was given.

    I think that's sort of sexual harrassment and pressure...Don't know how to explain it but it may be so. I also have a question, hope someone could answer.

    In the same way Taleee was saying, how about if someone keeps asking you for Oral Sex, and you say no, but in the end are pursuaded against your will to do so. Is that like rape?

  • Darien

    "pursuaded against your will"

    ^^ That's an oxymoron. Your decision is your decision, it doesn't matter what people feed your brain.

    It's the exact same answer. It is like rape, but not in the eyes of the court. You cannot be charged for rape if the other person gave their consent.

    Which means, the person agreed to it after being pressured. You can always avoid situations by walking away, and if they hit you, then that's assault and they can be charged for that.

    What if they wern't hitting you or anything, But.. holding you down?

  • Kaylee

    From experience I can say being held down is terrible. I hope that counts in the eyes of the court.

  • Natalie

    Exactly. They might not leave any bruises but if your a small girl {or boy} and they held you down with not much force but you still couldn't get away.
    Would that be like hitting and stuff...

  • Kaylee

    To me it would be the same but it's the lack of bruising thing that would worry me. Or people that submit to survivie. That would count too right?

  • Darien

    Any sort of force can be considered assault. Even threats can be considrered a form of assualt without even physically touching the person. Don't ever hesitate to call the police if you feel endangered.

    Oh ok..

  • Kaylee

    What if you feel you should cover for that person, even though they wonder why you never turned them in?

  • Natalie
    18 years ago

    I was just about to ask that.

    Or if by telling someone........ it would cause alot of problems with other people..

  • Kaylee
    18 years ago

    Or if the person figures that it won't make a difference because the person waited too long or got bad responses from most of the few people the victim might have told.

  • Natalie

    ^^^That too!

    "If you feel as though you should cover for someone ... or waited too long"

    It would be harder to prve anything, but they could still prove it was rape. Although without proper DNA and evidence etc, it would be much harder.

    Sadly it wouldnt be called rape tho it should be... If a person says no so many times that shoudl be the end of it.. no more asking.. If she/he gave in and finally said yes it should be considered rape b/c the person did not want to have 'sex' and was forced to give in. But as our laws are they dont think about if someone was forced or persuaded into something. What a sad world its becoming.

    i believe it to be rape, as much as it might not be or you may not want it to be.
    this actually happened to me. i said 'no' a number of times, and then was persuaded and ended up doing it. i didn't want to, and i did like it, but it was still wrong i think. i talked myself into believing that it wasn't rape, but then i went to counseling, and he said that it was. i don't know about the court, but in the mind, i think it is. and it'll affect someone for the rest of their life.

  • Gizmo

    bein pressured into something you don't want to do, is sexally assault but not rape. i think

  • katie

    Sexual assault is just as bad as rape in some ways. I know rape is much worse but they still leave the same effects behind on people.

  • Unforgiven Retniap doolb

  • katie
    18 years ago

  • Kaylee

    With court I heard they usually make the victim into the guilty person and the vctim has to defend themsel.

  • Unforgiven Retniap doolb

    "Depends on the Jury Opinion" catogory
