Making someone feel obligated, pressured or forced into doing something of a sexual nature that they don't want to is sexual coercion. This includes persistent attempts at sexual contact when the person has already refused you. Nobody owes you sex, ever; and no means no, always.

About This Quote

In the context of the word “no,” "ever" or "always" make a person owe you anything. This is a very important distinction to make. It is sexual coercion when a person is pressed into doing something they did not want to do. If a person said, “No, I don’t want to have sex with you,” and then they still pressured that person into having sex with them, that is sexual coercion. Nobody owes anyone sex, ever; and no means no, always.
