> Not objecting is the same as saying no effectively. You need active positive consent to be safe. Very few countries have such laws. In most Western countries sexual intercourse without objection between two adults that are capable of consenting/objecting (no abuse of authority, no threat, no force) will not be regarded as rape. This would be a very extreme definition of rape, because when you think about it, who would actually commit the rape if both persons did not object? Did both persons rape each other?
