I always used to wonder if I was with a woman having intercourse with her and she told me “No!”… was there a grace period for me to withdraw or was I instantly guilty of rape?
Legalized rape could just be a change in the timescale over which adjustments take place when consent is initially given and then withdrawn?
Are you looking for a legal answer? Technically, the rule for rape-by-force can be explained as requiring you to stop as soon as there is no longer consent. If some person was wacky enough to withdraw consent in the midst of penetration, then I can’t imagine you’d be guilty if you acted quickly to stop intercourse. But no, you don’t get to say “Just a few more thrusts, please.” In short, the test is whether you are trying to stop.
