@thisisrjg @ErosBlog ALWAYS. Have these people never known what it is to look someone dead in the eye and see a powerful, shuddering desire staring back from the depths of their lover’s soul?! I pity them so much.

@ErosBlog @girlonthenet I got a pile-on over on the birdsite a few years ago for saying that informed and enthusiastic consent, like GotN effortlessly incorporates into her writing, was hot as fuck in every single way. The boomers and reply guys divided between "a single yes is a yes to everything" and "you're problematic for finding it sexy in the first place", which tells us more about Twitter than anything else.
Nevertheless: informed and enthusiastic consent is so very very hot always.

@girlonthenet uses a comforting phrase in that post ("kisses at the speed of consent") reminding me of a disturbing meatspace convo about consent I had recently with a couple of boomer-minded relatives.
They both think it's fine to infer consent from "she went there, wearing that, and didn't say no".
He brutally mocked explicit consent, especially if it's reconfirmed as a hookup progresses, as "too much". So I blew their minds by arguing for enthusiastic consent instead. They were NOT keen.

I would never (don't say never) go on a blind date, for sundry compelling reasons, however, comma, counterpoint: https://www.girlonthenet.com/blog/blind-date-set-up-stranger/
