I was going to mention this. Althoug the story deals more with the fallout from Demi Moore's character turning around and calling the incident sexual harassment and rape because it didn't go the way SHE wanted it to, the actual incident could, should, and nowadays would be considered her "raping" him. He specifically said no several times, and had to physically fight her off. Granted, then he got so turned on that he almost consensually had sex with her, but came to his senses at the last minute and got out of there.

It's a damn good thing there was a witness nearby and the answering machine was running, or whatever. Most men wouldn't get so lucky and would lose that job or worse.

IMHO, if BOTH partners are not 100% willing participants, it's rape. If actual or threatened physical or psychological coercion is used by either party, it can be considered rape. In the military, under the UCMJ, penetration must occur in some form, which might make it trickier to prosecute a female-on-male rape, but most military guys probably wouldn't report something like that anyway.
