Not OOP: My husband got a vasectomy and didn't tell me
True / Off My ChestHahaha yeah i’m all for rape culture, must be something like that. Once again, Reddit 😂
However, I can’t help to notice that you did not answer my very simple question : is a sterile man a rapist if he does not tell his partner that he is sterile ?
If he leads his partner to believe he is fertile when he knows he’s not and they’re having sex to try to procreate? Yes.
Intent matters. Knowingly withholding information that might change your partner’s decision matters. Which is why a man who doesn’t know he’s sterile isn’t doing the same thing. It’s the same thing as knowing you have an std, not telling your partner and having unprotected sex vs not knowing and having unprotected sex.
It’s not that hard.
A STD is a health hazard. Fucking a sterile man isn’t. So it’s really not the same thing at all.
You missed the part where it’s about intent right?
If you have information that might change someone’s position on consenting to sex with you and you intentionally withhold that information and do not give them the option to change their mind, then the sex you are having is non-consensual through deception and is sexual assault.
It’s not that hard to understand.
