{{Main|Rape by deception}}
Sexual encounters where one party uses deception or deceit to obtain consent could be non-consensual.<ref name="Brogaard">{{cite web |url=https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/the-mysteries-love/201712/rape-deception |title=Rape by Deception: Sexual misconduct by lying or withholding |last=Brogaard |first=Berit |date=26 December 2017 |website=www.psychologytoday.com |publisher=Psychology Today |access-date=23 June 2018 |quote=}} </ref> As such, if A gives consent to have sex with B, but B has lied about a pertinent issue, A has not given fully informed consent. Deception could include false statements about using contraception, age, gender, whether one is married, religion or employment, sexually transmitted infections testing status, giving the impression that one is someone's partner, or that one is single, and falsely making the person think that a sexual activity is some type of medical procedure.<ref name="Brogaard"/> Examples include a California man who snuck into the bedroom of an 18-year-old woman right after her boyfriend left the bedroom, so she thought he was her boyfriend; an Israeli man who lied and told a woman he was a pilot and a medical doctor to have sex with her; and a US man who falsely claimed to be an NFL football player as a way to get sexual encounters.<ref name="Brogaard"/>

In Alexandra Sims' article entitled "Trans people could 'face rape charges' if they don’t declare sexual [[history]], warns trans activist" she states that the UK ''Sexual Offences Act'' requires transgender people to tell partners about their gender history as part of its requirements that people making sexual consent decisions have access to information so that they can make informed consent about whether to have sex; trans activist Sophie Cook states that the law is an infringement on trans peoples' human rights and on their privacy.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/trans-people-could-face-rape-charges-if-they-don-t-declare-sexual-history-warns-trans-activist-a7076546.html |title=Trans people could 'face rape charges' if they don't declare sexual history, warns trans activist |last=Sims |first=Alexandra |date=11 June 2016 |website=www.independent.co.uk |publisher=Independent |access-date=25 June 2018 |quote=By forcing transgender people to disclose their history to prospective partners the law is not only infringing their human rights it’s also reinforcing the bigoted idea that trans people are in some way abhorrent}} </ref>
