I’m copying the text of u/Biwildered_Coyote ‘s post on the two x sub about sexual coercion. I find I see too often people on this sub casually talking about sexually coercing people or even giving advice to sexually coerce people, so I thought it would be helpful to provide this info:
I just saw a recent post where a man was on this sub arguing about what sexual coercion means. So I thought I would post this for those who aren't sure what it is exactly...since most of us ladies have experienced it many many times and sometimes weren't even aware of what was happening. Of course it can also be a woman as the aggressor, or two people of the same gender etc...either way, don't be a creepy f**king rapist and pressure people into having sex with you.
Examples of sexual coercion:
Harassment: Repeatedly asking someone for sex when they have expressed disinterest is coercive behavior, especially if it intends to wear someone down until they give in.
Guilt: A person may try to make someone feel guilty for saying no to sex. For example, they may emphasize how long it has been since they last had sex, say that the person owes them sex, or that it is their her obligation from her her as their partner.
Lies: A person may use misinformation to coax someone to have sex with them. They may use myths about consent to convince someone they have no right to say no, make false promises, or tell them their demands or coercive behaviors are normal.
Threats to the relationship: A person may threaten to leave a relationship if someone does not consent to sex. Alternatively, they may play on their partner’s insecurities, such as by suggesting they are boring or unattractive if they say no, or that they will start being unfaithful.
Blackmail: This is when someone weaponizes secret information about a person to force them into having sex. For example, the might perpetrators to release nude photographs online if someone does not consent to sex.
Fear and intimidation: A person may behave in a scary or intimidating manner when they don't get their way to pressure someone into sex.
Power imbalance: A person may use the power they get from their job, status, or wealth to coerce someone. They may threaten someone with job loss, lower grades, a tarnished reputation, or other negative consequences if they do not agree. Alternatively, they may promise rewards and opportunities.
Using substances: A person may encourage someone to use drugs or alcohol to make them more compliant and therefore easier to coerce into sex. If a person has sex with someone while inebriated or unconscious, this is rape.
Edit: Sorry if I gave the impression that I wrote this list (I'm not that cool) it actually came from this article, so please share it if you like https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/sexual-coercion
