Implied consent can really complicated really quickly. Even not in an extreme case of SA.
I was on date with someone once where they were doing a lot of arm touching etc. So, while 9/10 I ask if I can touch someone in a situation like that, I didn't in this case. And they weren't okay with that and needless to say they were really upset about it etc.
I still kinda beat myself up about that when I think about it because ask you can probably assume I take this stuff really seriously.
TLDR implied consent doesn't cut it. You need the express presence of a yes.

I'm definitely privileged in several vectors, but not sure my parents knew what they were doing with the myriad of reasons I'm in therapy lmao.
