is it considered sexual assault if a person doesnt want to have sex and says i dont think this is a good idea but the other person ignores them and keeps going on at it. And say the person is afraid to scream NO !!! and run away but it was obvious they didnt want to. i mean at what point is something called rape?

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hey roadrunner,
I wish there was a lot more education on what defines consent and what doesn't but this website really spells it out. http://www.clotheslineproject.org/No_Means_No.htm
"NO" Means "NO"

I think anything that clearly shows that you are not consenting and he continues without your consent it is rape.

Thank you for sharing that! I pray that this has helped to answer your question. If at any time somebody makes a sexual advance at you and you tell them in any way you DO NOT want them to do that and they keep doing... yes it is rape or sexual assault.
Rape is being forced into the act of sex. Sexual assault is having a person bring sexual advances to you or touching you.

The body has the "red flag" feeling for a reason if anything doesn't feel right it probably isn't right and the best thing to do is just get out of there asap ... something i learnt the hard way.

hey thanks for ur guys answers. well this happened to me about 6 months ago and when i told my friend about it she said it was wrong but really i thought it was my fault for not being more clear and if he still ignored me to just try and get away. I hardly knew the guy so i didnt know exactly what to do but i am doing fine and all. i just wondered when is something considered sexual assault and when a person is to blame for not standing up for themselves.

Well....when me and my boyfriend was together...his friend was forceful in holding me against a chair and touching me. I probably could have gotten away...and I did say no...but I allowed him to do it. I consider it assult....because no does mean no...and I said "No Chris" so many times....push him away a little. I was too scared and had no clue what to do.....

I didn't say to my perp the word no - but i said "*name*, stop it ... get off me" and any one in their right mind would have understood because of what i said as well as my body language that I didn't want him to touch me... pity he didn't understand that

get off me and stop that is the same thing as no...and he understood just fine....probably thought he was bigger than that or stonger than that. Makes me mad that people do that...and gets away with it....

No means no.
No doesn't mean maybe.
No doesn't mean keep trying.
No means stop right now and talk about the weather or something.
Coercion is wrong. Absolutely wrong.
*hug*
I'm sorry you had to experience this.
