Unless there's more to it, that study wasn't of rape as it is usually understood. It's not uninteresting to find out how many women who got naked in bed with men they'd had sex with before, and would again, ended up getting f'd when they didn't want to be, but it's rather a different study than of cases of terrifying and life-changing classic rape. It also appears injuriously to trivialize the experience of those hard core rape victims to include in their category women whose boyfriends got aggressive when, naked and drunk, the woman got ambivalent or changed her mind yet didn't consider herself raped, and continued to have sex with the 'rapist.'

If fear wasn't present, it is a different category of experience.

And games of resistance take place so misunderstandings are in some cases possible, especially if a struggle is with a customary sexual partner, is half-hearted, and is and unaccompanied by, for example, screams for help.

although it is unclear if it were mere aggressiveness or a real physical threat

If it was, not if it were!... It's imperfect, not subjunctive. <g>

and where there was no question that the guy would cease if she put her foot down.

Is that a reference to the old standard of one foot on the floor? <g>
