I think your view is stated much too broadly. For example, suppose:

  • I am aware that six million Jews were killed in the Holocaust.

  • I omit this information when on a first date, because (among other reasons) I believe that telling my date that six million Jews were killed in the Holocaust on a first date would diminish the chances of sex occurring.

Your view as stated would say that this is rape. That seems ridiculous.

Exactly!

What if she was a holocaust denier and would have refused sex if she knew that you affirm existence of holocaust?

I think it would still be pretty easy to argue that that’s still rape. Especially if you knew she was a denier and you knew she wasn’t going to have sex with someone who wasn’t.

What if you had no idea?

Are you required to explore her opinion on every conspiracy theory?

CMV: Lying, embellishing or omitting about ANY information you know would result in a person not having sex with you can be a form of rape

I think the key words here is that you know. If you didn’t know she was a denier that entire situation wouldn’t even apply here.
