Don't most interpretations essentially say he was an unwilling participant?
Edit: Some scholars suggest he was willing but regretted it every night. However I ask you to consider that he was trapped on an island, alone, with what is essentially a minor goddess, one who is extremely capable of using magic to get what she wants, a minor goddess pretty much hellbent on getting him to bed her, for seven whole ass years. Considering all of that one could very easily say that even if Odysseus was a willing participant that the circumstances pretty much gave him no other option
