I never said it wasn't. I said that guilting someone into having sex with you is not rape, they are no longer an unwilling member. They are making a conscious choice. Don't get me wrong, it's a disgusting notion, but that person is not being physically forced to perform any kind of sex act. They are allowing a douchebag to manipulate their mind into doing something. The law does not consider it rape. Sorry, my opinion is apparently shared by many. You may feel free to think it is wrong.
EDIT: Husbands guilt their wives into having sex with them for their birthdays ... are they rapists? Spare me.
So let me get this perfectly straight. In your view, threatening somebody as to coerce them into having sex with you doesn't constitute rape? Let's say a person threatens another person's life under the demand of sex. The person who is being raped believes that he or she has no other alternative. Under your definition, that would not be considered rape.
If a woman threatens to call the police and say that the man raped her, and the man believes that he either has to have sex with her or face a potentially life-ruining scenario, that isn't rape?
Sex without consent is rape. Since when did "consent" mean "ability to physically resist"?
