I guess I wasn't understanding exactly what abaya meant when she said she was blacked out. I was interpreting that as meaning unconscious or incapacitated, situations I found myself in a few times in my undergrad years. As she describes it now--she seemed to her partner to be conscious and reasonable--it's much more of a gray area and I would defer to her judgment here.

I wasn't aware that such a state as she describes was possible.

This doesn't in any way change my stance on the OP. Either party has the right to withdraw consent at any time. The man is generally going to do this by pulling out. The woman's "no" or other indication needs to be given the same respect, the same power by her partner.
