In reply to the discussion: Not using a condom when you promise to is unacceptable. [View all]Bonobo
(29,257 posts)4. So logically then, it would follow that other conditions not being met would also make it "rape"
        Condition: You can have sex with me if you keep your socks on.
Condition: You can have sex with me if you break up with your girlfriend.
Condition: You can have sex with me if you let me have an orgasm first.
Condition: You can have sex with me if you let me be on top, 
Or more to the point, what if the woman lies about being on the pill, but isn't. Would that make it "rape"?
etc.
Would breaking those conditions make it "rape"? If not, what is the logical difference?
As I said, it is unacceptable to lie about using a condom or being on both birth control.
But rape? No, it is something different.

        It may not meet the strict definition of rape, however, its is, without a doubt, sexual assault.

        "Would breaking those conditions make it "rape"?" - Those conditions are absurd and unrealistic.

        By that logic a woman claiming to be on BC duplicitously is "tantamount to rape"

        Not having sex at all is also a choice which hasn't been deprived in this scenario

        "If two people agree to have sex, then it's not rape." - except that your ignoring the precondition.

        There are potential consequences occurring to both parties, but it ain't assault.

        Condoms protect against AIDS and other STDs, birth control pills do not. They're not equivalent. n/t

        In that scenario, there are bigger things at issue. Namely issues of trust between the two of you.

        I would not be surprised at all if duplicitously claiming to use BC has been interpreted as a crime

        No, I think that it is a crime, or at least a law that should exist
