Well, for one thing, it’s not clear that DID actually exists.
But, for the sake of argument, say it does. I think the most reasonable-sounding approach is to say the identity in control at the time has something like usufruct ownership of the body - they can use it, but not damage it, so they better be having safe sex.
The second situation is pretty straightforwardly rape by deception, depending on how exactly it unfolds.
I have no idea how sex specifically works, but I know of one pair that at least dates. They say they’re really good at ignoring the other and just reading a book. In a lot of ways, it’s not too different from more mundane situations where people are forced into uncomfortably close quarters - like in a shared prison cell.
Why isn’t it clear that DID exists? I thought it was accepted as a scientific consensus that “enacted” identities were genuinely perceived by the individuals experiencing & reporting them, which is why DID is still included in the DSM to this day.🤔

Yes, I know systems who have had alters sexually abuse other alters in the same body. It’s a sadly quite common thing actually, most likely because of how persecutors form.
