Raedwulf.

Let me clarify.

There are no grey areas when it comes to consent.

Lets say I misunderstand what a girl means ...

Lets say I believe she wants to have sex when she actually doesn't ...

In that Instance, I might make an honest mistake.

But I then have to try and have sex with her.

If you have ever had sex, you may remember that this is a process which involves the removal of clothes, and then a certain amount of jostling for position and other necessary physical requirements like engorgement of genitalis and lubrication etc.

And that is a very simplified aand reduced picture.

It would be impossible during this process not to become aware of whether a woman was consenting to sex.


Men who rape know they are raping.

It does not happen by accident, remote control, or without the knowledge and intent of the rapist.

In rape, it is a black and white issue.


The only problem for the oursider is knowing, without witnesses, what actually did happen.

But that is a seperate issue.
