What words will suffice to mean "Stop," if "I need to get home" is enough to convict a boy of rape?

That was my first thought, who's to say he didn't take the "I gotta go home" statement as "hurry up please". Women (and I use that term loosely) like this give the rest of the normal women a bad name.

LEGAL consent to sex cannot be withdrawn during the act; that is to say that, sure, the woman can inform that man that she wants to stop, as there are very many reasons why this could be so: vaginal dryness, leg cramps, and even boredom. "I think I'd like to paint the ceiling pink." Does that mean RIGHT NOW? And should the male immediately run off to find a paint brush?

And the male partner ought to comply as a matter of manners and kindness, but if he does not or cannot immediately comply is he to then be a rapist under the law?

If in California this is to be rape, then the very idea of the CRIME of rape is trivialized beyond recognition.

And here I was thinking that the California bench had improved after the demise of "Rose Red" Bird. Silly me.
