    is it rape if you are dead asleep and your partner comes home drunk and horny and starts to violate you?

    If you're dead asleep, like completely unresponsive, then yes.

    Just to point out that men get raped as well. If it's already been pointed out, my apologies. I read some of the posts, but not all.

I can't believe somebody would even post such a "please argue with me so I can call you an animal" question, you can't be serious with this topic.......come to think of it if rape insurance were offered and a woman filed a claim the insurance company would find her 10% at fault for being in a position to be raped
    then drop their policy :? what a weird question, it don't take a genius to realize NO would be the correct answer here.

    Thanks. Good point. I don't think it has been mentioned.

    I think it all depends on the exact circumstances, but it could be. If the wife didn't want to have sex but was too out of it to object, then yes. The fact that they are married has no bearing on rape laws, if that's what you're getting at (though I'm sure it would inflence a jury whether it was supposed to or not).
