I received this response via mail which had a mucked-up header, so I will
respond via the Net:

I am not speaking (typing?) of my personal experiences, but of the general
consensus of opinion.

However,, penetration without ejaculation is still rape (under all statutes
I know of).  So since it takes a finite time to withdraw, it doesn't really
matter--there will be some period after which she says "stop" that there
will still be penetration.  Therefore, no matter how caring he is, it's
still rape.

I realize this is a picayune point--but then that's how the law as we know it
works.
