Right - in which case, the whole message of the video that this is just as obvious as not forcing tea down someone's throat is completely nullified.

The video is clever and effective. If you are struggling over how you could possibly recognize consent from the complex nature of initiating sex, then you should probably not be having sex.

I don't think anyone's struggling as to how they could possibly recognize consent, only trying to point out that there are realistic corner cases here where it may not be totally clear whether consent has been given or not - or more to the point, cases where two reasonable people who are involved in the same sex activity have different honestly held beliefs as to whether consent exists.
