It is never okay to force, pressure or trick anyone into having sexual contact
even if you think they were "leading you on,"
even if you have spent money on them,
even if they are your spouse,
even if they have had consensual sex with you before,or
even if you think they "owe" you.
That is sexual assault, and it is a crime.
If you have been hurt by someone there is help, you have options, and you have rights.
