If the issue is purely one of consent, then that person's story should not be included along side the others.<br />The others strongly imply that they too gave consent, although not necessarily as clearly or explicitly.<br />In the only example where the other party withheld consent, he respected that and didn't go any further or ever ask again.<br /><br />I disagree with the implication that the standards of what counts as consent should be an order of magnitude higher for sex than for any other area of life.<br />So then anything short of the word "yes" should be understood to mean "no" by default? What about "ok" or "uh-huh" or "sure"?<br /><br />Is there that same expectation when the situation has nothing to do with sex?<br />For example "mind if I smoke in your yard", answered with a "meh", or "may I try some of that?" answered with a shrug of the shoulders. Or "can I cut in front of you, I'll be quick" answered with "I guess".<br />I think most people would consider those all forms of consent. There has to be some point at which the person being asked the question has the responsibility to be clear if they mean "no".Bakarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04002145755975841287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2399966929964838853.post-33511065234455107902017-11-14T07:38:38.508-08:002017-11-14T07:38:38.508-08:00You don't understand consent and that's sa...You don't understand consent and that's sad. You practice fetishes with sexual partners, not with people who are just hanging out. Or random people you're on the phone with. If, as a grown man, you can't see the difference you need counseling.JetBlakchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350307524322388083noreply@blogger.com
