- Consent-as-a-felt-sense
- Enthusiastic consent
Consent can be withdrawn at any time. In an enthusiastic consent jurisdiction, the only time the man knows the woman is consenting is when she enthusiastically consents. If she stops enthusiastically consenting, even for a short time, then he does not know if she is continuing to consent. She may have withdrawn consent in her own mind. There is no requirement to notify him that she has with withdrawn consent.
If she later claims he sexually assaulted her the onus will be on him to prove she did not withdraw consent in her own mind. How could he ever do that?
Men should not have sex with women in jurisdictions enforcing enthusiastic (or affirmative) consent. It's simply too dangerous.
