By the time I was in my mid 20s, everyone was older and more open about sexual matters. Blanket consent for a wide range of mutual activities was pretty common by then. Most times, things were upfront right away, even in many situations where you didn't know each other very well. If not, you talked about it a little before even starting anything.

Cuomo is in his 60s, isn't he? That's old enough to have learned some things, I'd think. So, I'm confused by the issues he's facing right now. Either people are lying or he's an idiot. I don't know which it is, though. I've met some old idiots in my 75 years on this planet.
