Regretting consensual sex isn't sexual assault. Consent means agreement at the time, not satisfaction afterward. A married couple who agree to sex, then feel it was a mistake, experienced regret, not assault.
Now, I want students to say, well, what if I say yes and afterwards I regret it? I wish I hadn't said yes. Is that sexual assault? So, if you consent and then regret after, is that sexual assault? Yes or no? No. No, it's not. It's regret. If you consented all the way through and there was no signs of no consent in there and afterwards you're like, oh, I wish that hadn't happened, that's called life. And by the way, if you've been married, you've regretted sex. Whenever I say that, students are like, what? When I say it to adults, they're all dying laughing. Because you know what they're referring to? A married couple sitting there going, you in the mood tonight? Sure, let's do this. Afterwards, they're both like, yeah, why'd we do that? I don't know. That was not good. Okay, so, and they're being honest with each other. They regret it. But that's nothing to do with— they actually said, yes, we want this to happen. Right? So that's important to be able to understand that.
