Upvoted for actually bothering to listen to what feminists are saying. That model has long since fallen out of favour, though, for obvious reasons: see e.g. Rethinking Rape by Ann J. Cahill. The “enthusiastic consent” model is currently one of the most popular, and I think it captures pretty accurately what we should consider a healthy, versus an unhealthy or coercive, sexual encounter.

That … sounds like it would predictably overestimate the amount of rapes. Unhelpful though this may be, not everyone has adopted “enthusiastic consent” in their day-to-day lives.

I, for example, occasionally merely agree amicably to have sex, without any enthusiasm. (For example if it the third time that day.) I think I’ve even agreed reluctantly at some point. Yet I haven’t been raped and anyone who tried to tell me I had been raped because I did not give “enthusiastic consent” is both wrong and grossly disrespectful of me and my right to make choices about what I do with my own body.

In fairness, they would probably just add you to rape statistics without telling you. Much less offensive.
