Let's clear something up about rape and consent.

Ra
I see a topic a day on here where a girl is asking if she was raped. If you said no, or otherwise clearly resisted at any point in time, and the other person doesn't stop, you were raped. If you were under the influence and too intoxicated to consent, and your partner was NOT heavily intoxicated, it was rape. If you and your partner are both heavily intoxicated at the time of consent, it's a bad choice, not rape. If you said yes, and then changed your mind but continued the sexual act without saying no, it was not rape. If you say no in the middle of sex, and they continue anyway, it's rape, even if you said yes previously. If you are intimate and he starts to have sex with you (that is presumed consensual) and you don't say no, it's not rape, unless you say no, and he continues. If you wake up to a sexual act being performed by a partner, and didn't want the sexual act, and you tell them and they then stop, it was not rape, it was a terrible misunderstanding. If they continue anyway, it's rape. If you regret it afterward but consented at the time, it isn't rape. Also, women can rape men. Even if you are raped, and have an orgasm, that doesn't make the sex consensual. If you have phone sex you didn't want to have, it isn't rape. If you have sex with a teacher, they are raping you. If you are under the age of consent and have sex with someone above the age of consent and more than two years older than you (or more or less depending on where you live) that is statutory rape. If you became unconscious during sex, and he continues, it's rape. If you are unconscious and someone has sex with you, it's rape.
Finally, if your partner is under the impression you are consenting, and hasn't heard no from you and you didn't try to stop them, they didn't rape you.
I hope this helps! Ladies if you're not comfortable with something speak up for yourself! Men aren't mind readers and by verbalizing your feelings, you can avoid many of the situations that I've read about on here.
If you believe you may have been raped or are questioning whether you were or not, please call the national sexual assault hotline at
