Do you think consent is compatible with determinism?

Is there a difference between a consensual action like consensual sex, vs coerced or forced actions?

I would say in the realm of what is meant by "consent" there exist the idea of responsibility.

To the determinist, consent exists because it is a real phenomenon in the world. If it is determined that someone knocks on a door and it is determined that someone answers it. Then if it is determined that the one who knocked say, "May I come in?" and they are given an answer: "Yes,"... then consent as been given in a deterministic universe.

Giving consent is an event that happens. I don't think it's necessarily entwined with responsibility. However, if (say) libertarian free will were true, then an agent would be responsible for the consent that they give. That much is true.
