65. I brought up violence and intimidation because
the idea that someone is going to change her mind, during the height of sex, purely on a malicious whim is far-fetched.

It is far more likely that she will tell a guy to stop because he's hurting her, or because he's being intimidating or violent. In fact, men treating women violently seems to be common. And if that's why she told him to stop, and he refused to listen, then I think he should get dragged in front of a jury.

That would be a case of a man conning a woman into having sex, getting her to have sex under the false pretenses that he cares about her. If she figured out that he's using her for sex, she has a perfect right to say no at any time. Period. And if he's being violent or intimidating about it, then she has a NEED to say no.
