[dywsbqgz] Enthusiastic consent

One of the potential problems with enthusiastic consent as a means to prevent rape is that it merely shifts the problem.  The rapist must merely psychologically manipulate the victim into giving enthusiastic consent, of creating an illusion of free will (up until the point of rape).  Magicians, political candidates, and advertisers do this all the time.  Psychological manipulation has always been an essential component of rape; this one additional task perhaps might not pose much of an extra barrier.

The other problem, well noticed, is that a great many people have had such powerful psychological conditioning about sex that it may be impossible for them to utter enthusiastic consent even if they want to.
