@Meatdaddy84 I am encouraging the exact opposite of mind reading and suggesting you simply ask about boundaries and comfort before engaging.
Holy fucking shit.
I’m going to bed.
If this discourse has brought anything to light, it's the pitifully anemic understanding men seem to have of what explicit and enthusiastic consent looks like. Sex should require no convincing or active guess work. If you truly believe she wants you, just fucking ask.

My dawg, if a woman is touching your whole ass package, asking them if they’re comfortable having sex is not going to lessen your likelihood of it occurring — she is either comfortable doing it or not, you asking lucidly is probably only going to help?
And if it causes her to decide otherwise, she wasn’t comfortable to begin with. Persisting in the absence of consent is exactly how the testimony you’re admonishing comes to be.
The collective willingness to standardize the absence of non-consent as a veritable proxy for consent itself is EXACTLY the cultural failure I’m trying to address here.
I don’t ascribe overt malice to this phenomenon — I see it rather as a gaping blind spot in our sexual discourse.

Is your response to their testimony not indicative of exactly why it is they would fear sharing it? Women often wait for corroborating narratives before risking coming forth, as it’s always bolstering against the onslaught of doubt to have strength in numbers.
I don’t necessarily believe he’s a dangerous predator — I believe everything described about his behavior is actually painfully predictable and the outcomes of his actions devastatingly ordinary. We have mistakenly condemned transparent discussion of boundaries as an obstacle to intimacy rather than identifying it for the catalyst that it almost always is. While there are certainly an unending list of examples where there is blatant predation, it isn’t uncommon for men to be clumsily persisting in the face of uncertain response whole women are politely enduring these advances so as to not create unnecessary conflict.
This is all very much rectifiable on a cultural level should we choose to see to such change.
Sex is messy, and overwhelming and self confronting. The more we encourage openness in intimate contexts, the more everyone benefits from those contexts themselves.
@infinitus98549 No. Flirt away, just ask if they’d like to be kissed and inquired about their boundaries before you start escalating.
Also — you absolutely can coerce your wife — she isn’t properly upon marriage, king.
@Puertocuck77@itatzki@cringechin As opposed to simply grabbing her pussy? The fuck is this logic? It’s obviously something you’d ask at the point of sufficient comfort and tension — likely after you’ve asked her if she’s be cool with you kissing her, and if there’s any contact she isn’t comfortable with.
