And that's why it was rape, I'm sorry that it can be confusing in some ways but it was Acquaintance Rape, because you were intoxicated to the point where by law you can not give consent to have sex. I'm sorry you've been through this, I know I've said it before but it can be a sad thing, but you can pull through, just stay strong and take in the advice I and others have given you.
Quote:
Definition of Acquaintance Rape-
From TH- occurs when someone you know compels you to have sexual intercourse against your will. Acquaintance rape can occur if you are passed out, too drunk to refuse, too frightened to argue, or when you do not give consent. Acquaintance rape is sexual assault.
From conesnt.unh.edu- Let's make this clear since alcohol muddies it up. Non-verbal clues are harder to give and to read when there's alcohol or drugs involved. The same is true for verbal communication. Therefore, someone who is drunk or under the influence of other drugs cannot give consent. Even if they say yes – it doesn't count. Like in football - if you score a touchdown but a penalty is called that nullifies it, the points don't count. So if you get a “yes”, but the other person is drunk, the “yes” doesn't count.
