Do you think it's rape if someone tries to have sex with an exclusive MAP?
Rape is characterized by sex without consent. Even if consent can be given verbally. Nonverbal consent is also something that exists and is (or at least should be) considered.
I always felt disgusted every time I tried to have sex.
A detail: I'm not attracted to adults, so I don't even live the conflict of feeling disgust and desire for the person at the same time, in my case it's just disgust.
In that case even if I say yes, that's a clear sign of nonverbal denial. Jesus, even if someone touch my private place it already brings that.
In that case, can I consider myself unable to consent to sex with adults? If I'm always going to have this reaction then I'm never consenting.
And let's face it if I put myself too much into these situations of having sex with adults it would probably indicate that I'm not doing it for pleasure but for various other reasons that would be bad for my mental health. So I probably wouldn't be in the best mental capacity to give informed consent.
What do you think?

@nate_river you can have sex without experiencing attraction. Asexual people do not experience sexual attraction, but that doesn't stop them from having sex (or masturbating)

@JoshuaACasey Yes I know, but in these situations we are talking about people who are ok with intercourse. And in the case that I used as an example where the person always feels disgusted and makes non-verbal signals?
