In reply to the discussion: Not using a condom when you promise to is unacceptable. [View all]Veilex
(1,555 posts)25. "mentions codom use" - You've added artificial requirements.
        The key here is that she objects. If she objects, regardless of reason (up to and including the lack of use of a condom), then it is sexual assault.
You're not gonna be happy until you see some laws on though are you? Fine. Here:

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

        So logically then, it would follow that other conditions not being met would also make it "rape"

        "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"

        "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.

        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
