How would that even work? If people want to say "nudge nudge wink wink course there is" then fine, but I'm talking about legal obligations.
When and how would this obligation be "cashed in"? People can refuse to have sexual activity, even with their partner, whenever they don't want to.
Now, anyway. Good things laws change, huh?
Legally there was and still is. Like I said, married couples may sue for loss of consortium!! You can sue for loss of yum-yum bouncy-bouncy if that loss was caused by someone not in the marriage. Only married couples may sue for loss of consortium.
Loss of Consortium is for suing another party if a spouse is denied marital relations because of injury by that party. Married people aren't suing each other because they aren't getting laid, dude. Divorced, maybe, but no one has any obligation ever to have sex without consent.
Quote:At common law spouses could not legally refuse sexual activity with their partners. The laws on this have changed such that while general sexual consent is still granted upon marriage particular legal consent is not given such that any particular engagement in sexual activity need a present expression of consent or (you are going to love this) a perceived expression of consent. That is right it is not rape if the person believes you consent even when you did not.
That's not true.
