Your idiosyncratic definition of force is not shared by lawmakers, considering that theft by fraud and violent robbery are treated under different sections of the penal code, thereby making rape by deception non-forcible rape according to legal usage. This is done for good reason: crime by trickery specifically exists to circumvent the need to use violence. They are separate because one does not actually involve force/violence.
