Consent is two people of legal age agreeing through words or actions that they want to do something. Some of the extreme progressive woman are insane and just want to hang men with anything they can get their hands on.

What I found out is people don't realize that when they have sexual relations this does involve psychology and spiritual connections with
themselves and other people. Not everyone is fully aware of the implications, so not everyone is giving fully informed consent.
I would compare it with people of legal age "consenting" to do drugs like marijuana, when cultural influences are telling them there is no lasting harm.
Later they find out there was, and many ppl report had they known, they would never have started.
Same with abortion.
Too many people think they consent to sex, but regret it afterward and realize they didn't.
I would call this "relationship abuse" that it is doing things within that relationship that hurt one or both people because it is outside their TRUE limits,
conditions or bounds. They may think it was consensual, but realize if they had known the conditions and consequences attached, the true answer is no.
It takes more counseling than a one night interlude to make sure people don't abuse sex or relations.
We just can't regulate or mandate that through govt, people have to figure it out individually
and set up counseling to help prevent abuses in the future.
This lax attitude of sending mixed signals that drugs and sex don't cause any lasting risk or harm
comes across as irresponsible and unethical to teach people that, and let them learn the hard way.
Better to explain there are implications and risks, and quit pretending that you can do anything as long as you consent and it won't cause problems later.
Where did you get the idea that having sex has anything to do with spiritual or emotional connections?

1. People are body mind and spirit.
So when two people have an intimate relationship, they are connecting with body mind and spirit.
2. People's psychology and patterns of thought, communication and perception of control
are connected to their past relations especially parents and family.
Two patterns I notice in particular
a. communication patterns tend to reflect relations with mother and family
b. control issues of conscience, perception of equal or unequal power, authority tend to reflect past relations
with father and romantic relations
ie mommy and daddy issues
Collectively people may
project their female issues onto the church as a mother figure for nurturing and helping
and their male issues onto the state as a father figure for protection and authority in charge
3.
Tipsycatlover even when I relate to people here, completely verbally,
you can see these "mommy issues" and "daddy issues" come up and get
projected by one person onto others, or their perception of whole groups,
this party or that party, this government or that church. When confronting conflict,
how quickly does the communication regress into "brats and bullies" either whining
and crying like a baby needing affirmation, or trying to smash the opposition to defend turf.
This projection comes from our internal male/female issues.
It comes up in our personal relations, especially romantic and intimate that touch our deepest
internal sense of male/female dynamics, and also project outward onto our political relations collectively.
People are going to communicate their will, and defend it from outside controls that threaten it.
So their power and control issues come up,
and their ability or inability to communicate their terms and boundaries comes up.
This happens with all people in all relations I have seen.
Especially intimate sexual ones that touch on all the levels at once.
