A friend had this happen to her and considered it sexual assault. If this had happened to me, I'm not sure I would have considered it the same. So, I'm conflicted. Obviously there are differing views on this.

This happened to me once (though I think I was on birth control at the time). I was annoyed but didn't register it as something that bad until years later when I heard people freakin out about 'stealthing.'

I'm really interesting in seeing how this compares to the last one.

Definitely rape. It was consent by deceit. If she wouldn’t have consented without, it’s about as good as drugging her.

Obviously more will claim that this one is a rape due to the ingrained double standard.

There is a slight asymmetry with the last example: condoms also protect against stds

Consent by deceit (fraud) is different from consent by force (coercion) in almost every area of law; I don't see why this should be any different.
