IIRC, it's the man saying he must leave and the woman saying he'll catch his death of cold if he does (altho more poetically put). Or maybe the other way around. It's persuasion, not coercion.

There's seduction...and courtship...and mating rituals... throughout the animal kingdom.

Not everything is about rape.
