> You don't have to be forced physically for it to count as rape/sexual assault as far as I am aware.
Modern public opinion != legal opinion. It varies wildly between jurisdictions. And what's on the law books isn't necessarily what's effectively enforced. In some jurisdictions, there is no effective way to prosecute for rape within marriage.
Whereas where I am, it's apparently legally required to continually get positive verbal consent throughout the act (as told to me by a legal student ~2 years ago), though this hasn't been tested in courts, and seems to be written to a fantasy of how humans behave; it doesn't matter how enthusiastic you are about getting consent, if you're not verbalising it constantly, then technically a crime is going on. Tough for you if you are turned off by talking during the act. Of course, take this to court and you're faced with the usual he-said/she-said problem of rape cases.
Legal definitions of rape - the definitions that count - vary considerably.
