Seth Rogen said in an interview that it wasn't rape...
Because the girl who was passed out and covered in her own vomit slurred, 'whhhhydddddeeedddyooooouuuuusttttttoooooppppmmuttthhheerrrrfffooookkkkkeeerrr".
He seems to honestly believe that his character did nothing wrong there.
Here is the full quote Rogen to The Washington City Paper:
“When we're having sex and she's unconscious like you can literally feel the audience thinking, like, how the **** are they going to make this okay? Like, what can possibly be said or done that I'm not going to walk out of the movie theater in the next thirty seconds? . . . And then she says, like, the one thing that makes it all okay”

Yeah They Are For The Same Resons, But I Didn't Expect Them To Keep The R Rating. The Previews Made It Look Very PG-13. {nm} Apr 05, 18:33
No, I agree.. it's a surprising decision on Screen Gems' part. {nm} Apr 05, 18:42
They probably just ran out of time to come up with a PG13 cut. {nm} Apr 05, 21:12
Nope--I'm pretty sure it was always intended to be rated R {nm} Apr 06, 08:57
Surprising but great News. {nm} Apr 05, 20:53
R-rated comedy is more marketable than R-rated action film {nm} Apr 05, 23:24
Oh, really? Tell that to Hot Tub Time Machine and Observe and REport. {nm} Apr 06, 06:13
"Hot Tub Time Machine" is released by a bad distributor, and "Observe and Report " is a film about date rape Apr 06, 07:05
Observe & Report is not "a movie about date rape" Apr 06, 08:55
Seth Rogen said in an interview that it wasn't rape... Apr 06, 10:36
loved that scene! And the porky fellow just meant that the line lessened the awkwardness of the scene... {nm} Apr 06, 12:21
No, Rogen's pretty clear. Sleeping with a girl covered in her own vomit is "okay" Apr 06, 14:44
