A speaker argues that asking for sexual consent isn't awkward, it's practical. Waiting for a partner to make a move wastes time and creates frustration instead of romance. Two hours of lingering on a couch teaches you nothing that a direct question wouldn't settle in seconds.
So, here's the reality, is this idea that if I ask, it's going to be awkward, is comical because let's look at your current system. 2 college students on a couch, end of night, hoping something's going to happen. They both want it to happen. How long could they sit on this couch waiting for someone to make a move? How long? Hours. Someone said hours. Someone said days. Okay. So, it can feel like it. Yeah. The average answer is 2 hours. That's the average answer. Now here's what's fascinating about those 2 hours. Do you have any more information at the end of the 2 hours than you had at the beginning? No, you don't. Is it getting more romantic or more frustrating? Frustrating. It's getting more frustrating. So you waited 2 hours of frustration with no more information to now make a sexual advance they didn't want. Could this be a mess of a situation? Yes or no? Yes. This is your current world.
