Let's say you rape a woman--don't worry, just a philosophical question--and the women, who struggles at first, begins to enjoy the act and finally thanks you, and doesn't want to press charges. Is that wrong?

Law wise, I think it's consent prior to the act. And I don't think she'll enjoy it during...you watch too many pornos.

A rape is a forced sexual act. In your case, the act, which can be categorized as rape at the beginning, becomes rape no more when the both party agree to continue the act. Moreover, you told that the woman does not want to bring this case to court. If such case is brought to court, I am not sure whether the judge or jury will consider this is a rape, because we should question what is in the mind of the 'victim'.
Btw, do you really think that you may encounter real case of such 'rape' in real world?

The intent of the act. What was the intent of the act? To have a woman enjoy it? Philosophically now, someone forces another person to have sex with them so that you could give them one hell of a good time? Also, you aren't forcing, hence, raping someone. if they are enjoying it. I'm not surprised though, that the man doing the raping thinks that she is just loving it. By definition, however, rape is a control thing, not an enjoyable thing. The rapist wants to exert control over another, so I don't think that the rapist would actually like it if the woman decided to enjoy herself. That does not fit the script now does it?
So back to intent, Yes it is still rape, you intended on raping someone, you raped someone.

You, I, and this hypothetical woman all have conflicting desires, inhibitions, convictions, etc. within us. What makes us free as persons is the capacity to make decisions, to weigh these diverse motives, and to arrive at a decision that we choose, that is our end product and ours alone. When you take that away from someone, in an act so heinous as rape, there is no justification to be found in an indication of a conflicting urge.
___Humans are responsible not for their thoughts, but for their actions, and if her action is to say no, rape is still rape.
___And if you find one of those "no"-means-"yes" types, you should run, because given sexual politics today, she's gotta be nuts, and she'll mess you up. So either way, you lose.

First of all, this isn't a philosophical question. It's either hypotethical or Legal. Even for a hypothetical one, it's pretty ridiculous. You raped a woman. And she enjoyed it. And she thanked you for it. Do you have any idea how long it takes for a woman to get into a sexual mood?! Like how long a guy, a guy she loves and knew for months, has to wine and dine her to actually make her enjoy kissing him; let alone have sex with him?! And you are talking about jumping a woman down before she was least expecting it, forcing yourself on her every being; and taking from her what she wasn't willing to give. And she thanking you for it. Can you see how stupid this question is, and how desperate for sex it makes you sound like?!

Not if you're Yellowbeard the Pirate!
But seriously, in our society rape is legal concept. If she decideds not to involve the Judicial gov branch, then it's just considered a jolly romp. How could it be rape if she never screams Rape! That's what's known as foreplay, or liking it kinda rough.

I would say it's wrong. She enjoyed it, but she never consented to the act in the first place. You would be wrong for raping her and later thinking that you did her a favor.

Why would you have to rape a willing woman? I have never heard of a rape victim "thanking" the rapist.Maybe you need help.

I understand what you're trying to imply, but it makes me wonder why you would even ponder such a question.....
You're confusing rape with consentual sex. Rape is not a sex act. It is an attack upon a woman against her will. No woman is going to "enjoy" being attacked. The rapist does not rape for the pleasure of sex, but to dehumanize, victimize, and humiliate the victim. It is a crime of control, not sex.

A victim of rape never enjoys it. It will be a nightmare for her. If she enjoys it then it is not meant rape.
