I just found the post to be weird and insulting for DU. How many members here do you think don't understand the concept of consent, and of them, how many will be enlightened by your Mr. Rogers cartoon?

Am thinking you may have missed the point just a wee bit. That or you really are being stalkerish and creepy.

People aren't going to ask, "Can I have sex with you now?"

But knowing when consent -implied or not- has not been given is important and should always default to overwhelming evidence in support of 'Yes'. Not sure? Then back away.

i mean, i know, tea with someone else is usually better if not always, but if someone doesn't want tea... it's a perfectly viable option for you to just have some tea alone.

sorry for belaboring the metaphor...
