"...offered a jarringly familiar portrait of sexual misconduct," Did you even read the story? He did nothing wrong and has no need to apologize for anything. When she said no, he stopped. The fact that there are aspects of the encounter that she regrets, like engaging in more than one instance of oral sex, is not on him, it's on her. He quite obviously, by her own words, was willing to stop when told no. Looking for her 15 minutes and not caring who gets hurt....it's only a man, after all.
