    Ahh but many people don't recognize that arousal for men isn't a completely conscious thing. They assume that if the penis gets hard, then he must want sex, and therefore is responsible.

    Do you know the term "morning wood"? waking up in the morning with a hard-on. Quite common for most men I think. A few years ago I had a friend and his sister stay in my apartment. Woke up in the morning with her naked on top of me. I'd been asleep during the whole initaition of sex. Now, it wasn't rape as such because I didn't say "no" or "stop", but no initial consent was asked of me.

    Without consent, I would say it was rape, even if the law doesn't allow for it. Unwanted sexual contact at the very least.
