Is Kissing Someone Without Consent Assault

Is Kissing Someone Without Consent Assaultの見逃せないポイントをわかりやすく整理しました。

Ah, the grand gesture! The sudden, passionate kiss! It’s a staple of rom-coms. But here’s the thing: in a rom-com, the director tells the actors. In real life, you’re not on a script. You’re a person with feelings. A surprise kiss can be thrilling if you’re already into the person and the vibe is crystal clear. Key words: into and clear.

If you’re not sure? Ask. I know, it feels awkward. “Can I kiss you?” sounds like a job interview. But guess what? A little awkwardness is way better than making someone feel unsafe. Plus, the answer might be a very enthusiastic “yes!” And that’s a way better story than “so I just went for it and she flinched.”

What if there’s alcohol involved? You’re at a party. Everyone’s loose. A kiss happens. Is that okay? It depends. Did both people have the ability to knowingly agree?

I’m not here to ruin your fun. I love a good, flirty night as much as the next person. But let’s be honest: “I was drunk” is not a free pass. It’s a reason to be even more careful. If you can’t read the room, stay in yours.
