6. I think that is a great response.

And yes, people do hate to talk about it.

Maybe it is because it is embarrassing on one level or maybe it is because it feels clinical to talk about those things when not in bed.

Or maybe it is a spontaneity thing.

But yeah, I like your consistency and I see your point. In reality though, they rarely get discussed as you point out and the determination as to whether touching the butt while sleeping is sexual assault or not comes only later and depends on whether the act was gratefully accepted or not.

The onus of making the moves is "usually" on men but the determination of whether to accept them as "okay" or not is on women.

I think I speak for all men when I say we would probably be happier if women picked up a bit more of the slack in the "making the moves" category.
