Interesting. Apparently, CUS, consensual unwanted sex, which is not rape or sexual coercion but is still someone agreeing to sex they don't want, is something that exists and is being studied. Mostly in regards to young women of course, like most studies on sexual topics like this, the study itself even starts with the female researcher dedicating it to "All the women who ever felt pressured into sex they didn't want"... only for her own results to find minimal differences like this

POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS AND CONSENSUAL, UNWANTED SEX: THE ROLE OF FREQUENCY, GENDER, AND REASONS FOR CONSENTING
How it started:
This dissertation is dedicated to all the women, both now and in past generations, who have felt the spoken and unspoken pressure to engage in sex they did not want.
How it's going:
Frequency of CUS also demonstrated two negative correlations: one with gender (r = –.10, p = .023) and one with approach motives (r = –.11, p = .019). Since gender was coded as 1 = woman, 2 = man, and 3 = other, the negative correlation indicates that as the gender value increased (from woman to man to other), the frequency of CUS slightly decreased. In other words, women or cisgender women reported a somewhat higher frequency of CUS compared to men or cisgender men and participants who identified outside of gender binaries.
However, despite women’s higher CUS frequency, gender did not significantly predict PTSD dx severity or PTSS cluster severity once frequency and reasons for consenting were entered into the model. This finding did not support hypothesis two, which proposed that cisgender women would report higher PTSD dx severity compared to cisgender men and other genders. Earlier research showed a higher 2:1 PTSD prevalence among women (APA, 2022; Christiansen & Hansen, 2015), but the current results showed that when I accounted for contextual factors such as CUS frequency and reasons for consenting, gender did not uniquely explain differences in PTSD severity.
There were no significant gender differences in the association between interpersonal coercion and PTSD/PTSS. This aligned with research showing that sexual coercion produces comparable psychological consequences, such as distress, confusion, and depressive symptoms, for men, women, and other genders (Judson et al., 2013; Peterson et al., 2011; Stemple & Meyer,2014). The literature also aligned with the current study in underrepresenting men who report coercive sexual experiences.
