You were all drinking and sleeping together. Yes, he took advantage of you without your consent. But it was ambiguous, and you didn't really protest either.
You just put yourself in a vulnerable situation and got taken advantage of. But I would not convict this 'friend' of rape.

Well then you would be poor jury member as you are not basing your decision on anything that even vaguely resembles the legal definition of rape, but rather on your own biased, victim blaming definition.You would probably also be ignoring the directions to the jury by the court as well, because of course they would expect you to use the legal definition.
