I know people who have been quite appreciative of waking up to sex with someone a few hours after consensual sex. Of course, refusing sex is just that, regardless of what happened previously, but only those present can be certain whether such refusal occurred.

Akins comment would benefit from more context, particularly given the existing context of abortion bans that allow no rape exception. Sex with anyone who does not or cannot consent is obviously rape. On the other hand, men and women alike joke about beer-goggling, but men never cry, "rape!" on waking up next to someone they would never be seen with sober. They also do not explain pregnancy as rape to avoid the fear/embarrassment of telling their parents they are sexually active. Men do not seek abortions by claiming consensual sex was rape they feared to report. As with any crime, accusations are not proof, and proof can be difficult to obtain even when crimes occur.

Ultimately, the frequent difficulty of establishing rape to be just that is just one more reason goverment should not usurp control over peoples bodies.

I do find it interesting, given the other serious charges flying both ways this year, that Akins ambiguous comment may be what costs the GOP a Senate majority.
