That would be one example, but I'm also thinking about other things. Maybe "demand" isn't the best word for what I was thinking of. Imagine the example of a couple sexually involved with each other but not to the point of intercourse (or perhaps including intercourse but not some other sex act). One partner (I'll assume the man but it could be either way) keeps pushing for more, begging, perhaps threatening to break up, perhaps trying to aggressively woo the partner, maybe (and this may be over the line in your opinion even if the rest isn't) "gentile force", where one partner is physically pushing things but with no real force behind the push, allowing the other (the woman in this case) to easily stop the action if the other she wants to. Assume the woman knows that she isn't going to be actually forced, she isn't afraid of being hurt or killed, but she gets emotionally and mentally tired (not physically worn out and unable to resist) these advances and gives in even though she doesn't really want to or at least is uncertain about the whole situation. Those are the kind of "demands" I was talking about.
