Women, have you ever been pressured into doing something sexual?

Asked by nikipedia (28077points) June 8th, 2011

I had an interesting conversation last night about persuasion and seduction, and it turned into a discussion about men pressuring women into sex. So, I am wondering: how common of an occurrence is this? Have you ever been pressured into a sexual act, including oral sex, or maybe just kissing?

How did you feel afterward? Can you remember any situation in which you had to be persuaded to participate in the sexual act, and you found that you enjoyed it and were happy with it after? Or did you regret the act later and wish that you had given a firm no?

And if you were persuaded to do something you ultimately didn’t want to, what prevented you from saying no? Do you feel like you generally have trouble setting boundaries with people, that you’re a people-pleaser and weren’t considering your own feelings, that it would create an awkward situation, or you were afraid for your safety?

I would also be interested to hear from women who feel like you have never been pressured into a sexual situation. I am wondering how common it is to find a woman who has never had that experience.
