Not really, no. This unfortunate fellow went into the agreement expecting a night of sex. The fact that the woman didn't stop after several rounds gives rise to the sexual assault argument and wrongful imprisonment, since she wouldn't let him get away.henritje said:doesn't this constitute as rape? I mean the man was forced to have sex.
... and that's why the woman is currently facing charges of "sexual assault." It all depends if a prosecutor can prove that the man really was unable to leave the apartment on his own free will, and if he called the cops, he probably couldn't. This is probably the same defense a man might take in the same case. It's situations like this that make a lot of some of the insane laws regarding sex crime in this country seem a little extreme. If she were found guilty here, she'd be labelled a "sex offender" for the rest of her life, wouldn't be able to live anywhere she wanted, would be forced to register regularly, and would have difficulty finding a job.isometry said:This is a good story for the feminists to think about, since if it was a woman trying to leave and a man who insisted she stay, and she told police she stayed because she saw no other alternative, the man would probably be facing charges of rape.
The perfect phrase to describe it would be a Zap Brannigan quote: "Ladies, please. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is bruised and spongey!"Living Contradiction said:Too much sex? Yep. Having worn myself out with a partner, I can readily attest that such a thing exists.
Depends on the jurisdiction, but where I live at least, a person can retract consent at any point, and the other person must stop, or it's rape. Or possibly the person needs to continually give enthusiastic consent, or it's rape, which is not quite the same thing.Living Contradiction said:Not really, no.

Give the lady some counseling and show her that, yes, there is life after orgasm.
Er, I don't think it is. This very obviously is wrong, you're not likely to have any feminists arguing about that. Maybe mention of how the other way round is more common, but that's a seperate issue.isometry said:Feminists are the ones who believe in gender equality, that's why it's important for them to think about this case. For someone who sees a difference between a woman who wants too much sex and a man (like the author of the news article and his editor, it reads nothing like a rape story - look at the picture they use to headline the article), then this story is not an important test of the self-consistency of their principles.
She is facing sexual assault charges.isometry said:This is a good story for the feminists to think about, since if it was a woman trying to leave and a man who insisted she stay, and she told police she stayed because she saw no other alternative, the man would probably be facing charges of rape.
Pretty sure the woman is too in this case.isometry said:This is a good story for the feminists to think about, since if it was a woman trying to leave and a man who insisted she stay, and she told police she stayed because she saw no other alternative, the man would probably be facing charges of rape.
Umm... Being charged with sexual assault is being charged with rape.isometry said:This is a good story for the feminists to think about, since if it was a woman trying to leave and a man who insisted she stay, and she told police she stayed because she saw no other alternative, the man would probably be facing charges of rape.
