I added the "nonconsensual" because the incidents I refer to were in my opinion nonconsensual. As I said, I certainly understand that terms could be triggering, and I do not want to offend anybody, as long as I do not have to give up my right to describe the action as I see fit, I am happy to oblige and in this instance use different term.
