Do you have a problem with the site? Because sucks for you if everything they say on there you question. I know sometimes it says rubbish - but since RapeCrisis came to talk to our school and said roughly the same thing, i believed them

Well since consent can be 'implied,' then I think that absence of consent can be IMPLIED too, and by the person having said no for the first few times, does that not imply they do not want sex?

Depends on how she was persuaded I guess. And no, what you said isn't forcible compulsion, but can be intimidating if the person has already said no.
