    In the real word, initiating and refusing sex happens in lots of different ways. We have to stop telling folks that the only way to negotiate enthusiastic consent is through verbal communication. #ssss2018pic.twitter.com/WY9B3Xerjy

        Counterpoint: I am autistic and find it massively difficult to read non verbal cues. I need a verbal, affirmative yes. Or a written note, or a sign language interpreter so she can literally spell it out for me because otherwise, I will not get it.

        Oh of course! No one is saying that verbal negotiations are unnecessary in many situations and many people. I’m just arguing that for many people and many situations nonverbal negotiation is fine as well.

        The man and the woman must give affirmative verbal consent each step of the way, but if she gets pregnant, the man and the baby don't need to give any consent to kill the baby. Right?

        I would say that a kick in the nuts if he's overly aggressive works every time :)

        If giving verbal consent is required for something to not be 'rape,' then I guess my husband has orally raped me a number of times on weekends to wake me up. Somehow, I don't feel at all like calling the authorities.

        I agree to NO means No. And Always have. Even non-verbal No. But Yes means yes is total BS. Decided to get affirmative consent with my girlfriend every now and then. She said "she'd go home if I continued this nonsense. I was killing the mood." What should I do now?

        A kick to the groin works well as a nonverbal communication. Haha. Unfortunately the vast majority of campuses, due to the incorporation of political correctness and social justice issues into policy, have made campus life legalistic, i.e., mandated verbal expression of consent.

        Interesting. But it seems to assume sex = PIV, and doesn't address the different stages leading up to that. Seems to be all-or-nothing, which is generally much clearer than stopping 'mid way' . ["made myself vomit" ?! ]

        In otherwise consensual encounters, there must be room for good faith exploration with respected boundaries, or we will have assault by inadvertence, and that is not what assault is. The rules promoted by colleges are not in harmony with how many consensual encounters proceed.
