For those that have some experience with women, it is very common for a man to initiate any form of intimacy. There is almost no condition in which she gives you explicit permission to touch or kiss her . She either responds postively or negatively to a mans initiation- which can be called implicit consent. She may also intitate intimacy but this extreamely rare.

Many men in the public eye seem to get in trouble just by initiation intimate contact without explicit consent. They even get in trouble if it happens in a intimate setting like a hotel room or a bar etc. They get in trouble if its a one-time comment or touch. It often can still rise to harassment or sexual assault in public opinion.

What im trying to get is that mating practices between men and women are such that explicit consent is almost non exisiting in practice. When man is trying to get laid and she reponds negatively to his escalating touch or comment, can we considered this harrasment if its a one-time nonrepeating attempt at intimacy

Curious as to men and womens thoughts
