I clearly fundamentally dont believe in casual sexual relationships where consent is an issue. The problem isn't consent. Its that people have normalized hooking up with sexual partners they barely know, before they've even formed any kind of a bond, and then have to precariously navigate all kinds of sexual etiquette because there is little trust, little relationship and no commitment. Sexual assault from lack of consent is a problem created by people who have not made a commitment to love, cherish, protect and nurture the love of their life and made a lasting commitment to them. Its not rocket science to note that the people in this case only met each other a few hours before this whole sordid event happened and were only out for some 'fun'. Its also not rocket science to note that the number of cases of committed couples who have been together for years dragging the issue of 'consent' into a courtroom is far far less, if you can even find those cases at all.

If you play with fire, you're gonna get burned. Just ask some hockey players.

And Im 100% sure that my opinion will be fully accepted here on Lemmy especially by those who love their bar crawling hookups so Im gonna leave it at that. lol. I'm out.
