In courts of law, rape is usually defined as the coercive or forceful act of a person against another person. When a person uses, force, corercion or manipulation to have sex with another person against their will, then it is rape. Direct, respectful communication with a sober date is the only way to learn what they are interested in doing. Nothing can ever be assumed. Silence and submission do not equal consent for sex.
