This includes taking off your condom without her knowledge, lying about sexually transmitted diseases, and even claiming to be single when you are actually married.
Claiming to be single doesn't seem violent. Dishonest, absolutely. Only for rhetorical purposes would one lump that into the same sentence with the other two.
The other two ARE arguably acts of violence, and certainly represent unwanted sexual contact. I don't think that's controversial.
As for lying about marital status, you really have to strain your intellect to frame it as unwanted sexual contact. If you squint your eyes, it can appear so. But I think the case can be made that it doesn't count as violence.
If there is any "violation" of another person going on, it is only because lies in general can be said to "violate" people. In the end, I say, the first two items certainly count as unwelcome sexual contact... but lying about marital status... not so much.
