In my case, communication was murky and there was confusion as to consent. Which may be part of the reason I'm twitchy about communication, and frequently worried whether I'm sure I've understood what was really meant or whether I've communicated my own intent adequately. I hadn't connected that set of fears to it before, but now I wonder.
And people are so uncomfortable about communicating about sex, which just makes it even murkier, doesn't it? It's difficult. All I can say is, "I you aren't sure, ask. If you're still not sure, ask again."
I was actually rather touched and charmed, when once upon a time a date asked permission to kiss me goodnight.
