North Carolina is the one state where the law explicitly says you cannot revoke consent once it's given. A bill that would remove this "unacceptable loophole" has little traction.
One May evening in 1977, Beverly Hester was sexually assaulted. According to the summary included in the North Carolina Supreme Court decision State v. Way, she testified that the perpetrator, Donnie Way, threatened to beat her if she didn't have sex with him while hanging out at a friend's apartment. When she tried to leave the bedroom, he allegedly slapped her in the face.
Hester went on to tell the court that Way penetrated her anally and forced her to perform oral sex on him. She said he began having intercourse with herthough she begged him not to because she was a virginbut stopped when she complained of severe stomach pains. Later, at the hospital, she told her mother she was raped.
Despite her testimony, the jury appeared to be swayed by the defense's argument that Hester initially agreed to have sex with Way. During deliberations, they returned to ask the judge "whether consent can be withdrawn." The judge noted that it could, especially in cases where intercourse has turned violent and thus "no longer consensual." Way was convicted of second degree rape.

Great movie. :)
That interpretation of the law by this judge is ridiculous.
I don’t expect this will be the last word.
Where is this judge from, and from what century?
I thought at first this was a satire, but was surprised such a serious topic was being joked about.
How the hell do you even start the process anymore much less finish it?
What is this thing sex of which you speak?
If you want o give up a third of your income for the next 18 years in child support have at it.
Well, this what happens when you decide to have sex with someone you don’t know.
May I stroke it to the east?
(Yes)
May I stroke it to the west?
(Yes)
May I stroke it to the woman that I loves best?
(Shut the **** up!)
Now we be strokin’!
Marriage license?
Can you smoke afterwards?
It’s interesting while watching it I recalled that when I first saw it, as a kid, I thought of Michael as a hero. As a 60 year old, I think of him as completely twisted and pathetic.
Thanks for the info.
There’s no way I could explain that to a woman, but thanks for the info anyway, it makes a lot of sense.
Appreciate your analogy too.
Eeeuu, which happened first?
Why would any man want to?
The Japanese are no doubt working feverishly to create a synthetic person that does not revoke consent, doesn’t need to cuddle or relationship talk.
And makes a fine sandwich.
They just need to make sure they look like adults...
You think an automated Uber will be popular, imagine how many times the automated female companion app gets downloaded.
Bingo.
And no need for dinner or long freaking walks on the beach.o
No bones about it.
Make no bones about it.
