You’re implying it hasn’t been the case for him all along; I doubt there’s anything sudden about it.

I’ve never posted to The Pit before but I saw this originally linked in IMHO and just had to say: Assuming you instantly realize she’s passed out (not fallen asleep), if you go ahead and keep humping her you are a freakin’ sociopath\*!\* :eek:

Doesn’t hitting your sex partner over the head with a hammer count as “passing out”?

Oh, so it’s one of those kinds of hypotheticals, like, “If you could stop time and rape the lifeless body of anyone you wanted, clean them up and put their clothes back on, then start time again, without them ever being the wiser, would you?”  
It’s still skeevy as fuck.

There’s no “civil back and forth” about rape. There’s the creepy (at best) ‘let’s see what kind of rape scenario I can concoct’ and the legitimate outrage about your concocting it.

What is the difference between **Shakes** and a sack of shit.

The sack.

Look, my ex wife has woken me up with BJs. does that mean I was raped? I didn’t give consent.

And back to the hypo: Let’s say for those last three pumps you had your eyes closed and therefore had no idea she passed out. Are you guilty of rape?

If I wake up to my partner giving me head.

Is that rape ?

How the hell do I know it’s not life I threatening?

I’d be far too worried to stay hard if my wife suddenly passed out like that.

And FTR, let me just state, I asked this question strictly in the confines of a hypothetical.  
If this were to actually happen in the real world, and you have no idea why your partner is passed out, Of COURSE you should stop right there and figure out what’s wrong.

The hypo I posted in my OP isn’t likely to happen in the real world.

There are quite a few posters on the forum who will insist that it is. They firmly believe that consent has to be given at the time, every time, after a drug test, a psychological evaluation and a peace officer all ensure that there is no compromised consent. Once the notary verifies everyone’s signatures and birth certificates, you’re good to go.

Yes, that’s the very definition of a hypo.

I’m of the opinion, unless you’ve got some odd social contract with your partner, that if you’re in a strong, sexual relationship with someone, impulsively going for a little sumthin’ sumthin’ when the mood strikes, is a’ok… even welcome. Unless during the move, it’s explicitly stated they don’t wanna.

Your hypothetical, however for me, doesn’t seem to hit on the point of rape (only a side-consequence), but what kind of person are you that can still keep going, knowing your partner is unconscious, not interacting, and (despite your hypothetical, which brings magic into it), adds an element of concern for your lover. Even if I knew 100% she was okay, I’d just stop. It’s a turn off.

Or another way: If they can’t interact or know with what you’re doing to them, I don’t think it’s ethical to continue. And if you’re like me, you wouldn’t want to anyway.
