>I mean, if two people have sex and then sleep in the same bednight, and one of the two attempts to continue having sex in the morning ... if you wanna call that rape, rape might not even be a moral crime.
Nah , that's rape, one of the parties was unconscious .
- roenxi 7y agoAre you talking legally or practically? Because practically being asleep and unconscious [0] are different things. Legally I'm not sure what the common jurisdictions accept. And, again, that is trivialising rape. Under that sort of definition, there would be a lot of men and women who get raped and literally just wouldn't believe a crime had happened. Might be the legal state of affairs, but it is also clearly stupid.

I don't know who they'd be, but it wouldn't be an uncommon set of circumstances. EDIT2 in response to dragonwriter I've added a citation to Wikipedia which does differentiate between normal sleep and unconsciousness (at least as of when I checked :P). Obviously the line is blurry if you want it to be.
