I would be the guy who apologizes profusely, while secretly wanting more. It’s a fine line. Consent is absolutely a requirement for me. But how to navigate these murky waters? Even when I do tributes, it’s always because someone requested it. I guess there are certain signals like eye contact, body language, etc that would indicate all-clear. But there can be misread signals.In USA this is less tolerated then in Japan. Japan has a history of perversion and using girls/women. There are special trains now just for females so this helps prevent chikan…. In USA I have been touched on public once…. Just a brush across my chest on the Muni train I think it was intentional but he apologized so much….. I don’t think it can happen here too much respect for women and it’s not legally tolerated. But when I go back to Japan I almost expect to be touched
I’m really interested in the cultural differences mentioned here. Hope to learn more. Great discussion.
