Sharon1111 agony auntThis guy abused & disrespected you. Too bad he is the father of your child, but dreams can't make reality. He is just not good enough for you. I say don't put your hand in the fire or you'll get burnt. So see fire as fire not as water because you want water.

How about you go find a nice guy?

Miamine agony aunt'lubrication', which is pre-condition of anal sex, and there must be some mark of 'injury' which can be detected clinically

Not true.. we've had a least one post from someone who wanted to have anal sex in the most painful way possible, and didn't want to use lubrication. People into S&M and painfull sex do not always require lubrication to find pleasure.

You can report this case to the police, original poster, but as I said, it's going to be hard to prove consent. You and this guy had sex, and although he penetrated you in a way you did not want, the courts will take his word, as you consented by removing your clothes and having sex in the first place.

Go to a lawyer, go to the police, check with them first. But I think you'll find that you will not be able to take this case to court.

bharat mehta agony auntThe advice of ' Angzw' seem more relevant here. Best way is to obtain legal opinion once. We are not specialist in law matter, so we are unable to say anything specific.

But, if you had not consented, means you have not used any 'lubrication', which is pre-condition of anal sex, and there must be some mark of 'injury' which can be detected clinically. But, lawyer is the best person to direct such issues.

Laura1318 agony auntThe U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that sodomy laws are unconstitutional on June 26, 2003.

reference:-

http://www.glapn.org/sodomylaws/usa/usa.htm

This law applies to those with consensual adults.

However if it is committed without consent,it is a felony , a serious crime .

Laura1318 agony auntYou can report him to the police but it is not easy to prove in court that you did not give your consent.It is one man's word against another .

Do you have any witness or video to prove it?

If there were no forced entry or violence perpetuated, you will have a very weak case .

A female reader, Angzw Zimbabwe +, writes (22 February 2010):

Sodomy is against the law if its not consensual. Men are normally raped this way. This is also a case of domestic violence. The best thing for you is to phone a rape helpline and speak to a counselor over the phone and explain what happened to you. They know all the laws and they would be able to advise you on what to do. They won't force you to press charges but they will explain your options. This is the field I work in so I know you have a case if you ever wanted to press charges. Nowadays, the majority of rape cases are committed by husbands and boyfriends but are severely under reported because they fear the police won't listen to them but that is no longer true; especially since your boyfriend has possibly done this to others there might already be a record on file. Remember, the helpline wont force you to press charges if you dont want to, but they will counsel you and at least your case worker will have your assault on record if anything ever happens to you.

(1 800 656 HOPE) is for male and female rape survivors or (1 888 7HELPLINE) for domestic violence.

Although I know you dont want to report him, how would you feel if you let it go then he does this to somebody else?? You have to think carefully about this; he is clearly a rapist and not only do you continue to be in danger, but others women are in danger too.

Sodomy is a crime in the USA and always has been. If you having intercourse with someone even if your married to that person you have the right to say NO. At the point you said no its rape. Not meant to be funny, but if he wanted a last stroke after you said no then its RAPE. Why don’t ppl understand No means NO. SODOMY is illegal help change the laws.

A male reader, HarryFlashman United States +, writes (22 February 2010):

As stated, I agree that it would be sexual assault, but my guess is that it will be hard to get prosecution because it's a messy case. But I am not a lawyer.

Agree with the advice you have received: stay away, he's trouble.

A reader, anonymous, writes (22 February 2010):

He doesn't even seem to care that he hurt you, and that sounds like a bad character flaw if nothing else... I mean maybe he did not see it as rape, but even if you don't want to use the word ''rape'', it was a sexual assault as soon as you said NO and he went on with what you said no to. If he really lacks that much respect for women, do you think he will be a good influence on your child? And if you think he's abused other women, then I would not feel bad in the least about reporting him. If you decide not to report him, then I would advise you at the very least not to do anything sexual with him anymore. Anyways, whatever you end up doing, I wish you good luck.

A female reader, Miamine United Kingdom +, writes (22 February 2010):

Miamine agony auntI think this is sexual assault, but it's hard to prove legally because you consented to sex. I suggest that you never put your self in that type of position again. If he's violent to other women, he will go on to hurt someone else. In that situation, your experience of his violent ways will be invaluable to help her get justice.

A male reader, rcn United States +, writes (21 February 2010):

rcn agony auntI don't like the word rape, its too generalized. By definition, I would say this was an act of sexual assault, whichever degree would be determined by local laws. It doesn't matter that you were having sex. He asked if he could, you said no, he did it anyway, that's not a consented part of the act you were engaged in. I'd recommend talking to your local district attorney's office, see and weight your options in this matter. Take care.

meg2989 agony auntWell rape by definition is any act of sexual intercourse that is forced. While its true he stopped about a minute or so, you specifically told him not to before hand, yet he did. It may not have been some brutal form of rape, yet even though it was only a minute, it was a minute of forced anal sex.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (21 February 2010):

whether you were having sex with him or not, that fact is you said no to a sexual act and he went ahead and did it anyway. That is wrong!

If you do not want to take this to far, then in future stay away from this person,do not have sex in future with him, and also let him know that you will go to the authorities if he ever tries anything like that again.
