How do you go about proving "psychological" rape? What the hell is
"psychological" rape?!!! Is that rape of someone with the mind? 
In what sense? I think it's utterly ridiculous if you're implying
that dreaming of having sex with someone (forcibly or non-forcibly),
even though that person says no (in real-life or the dream) should be
illegal. I think maybe you were trying to say (at least it's more
logical) that you psychologically (playing mind games and the like)
convince a girl(or guy) to say "yes". At this point, I'm still not
sure you have grounds for rape. I mean the guy didn't do anything
until he got a "yes". It seems like a bit of an underhanded and cruel
technique, but I don't see how you could convict on it!! Or is
psychological rape when screw her brains out (no, arrrggggghhhh, I know it
was bad, sorry!)
