Does this count as sexual assault?

I was fooling around in the bedroom with a guy I started dating last month.

Explicitly told him not to touch me underneath my underwear, yet a few minutes later, he still went on to touch my bare parts.

I didn't say anything because I didn't want to "ruin the mood," but I can't help but feel like he didn't respect my boundaries.

Would this be classified as sexual assault?

  • Yes absolutely. He touched you while you made him clear you didn't want to.

    For those that say you "let him", go f yourself. It's not how it works. In situations like this your brain doesn't work the way that you're used to and may skip flight or fight and goes straight to freeze. He did it without your consent. He's the only one at fault.

  • Oh please, grow up. "Don't put your index finder past the upper seam of my underwear and..." Jeez, you must be young, 'cuz they're the ones acting most like porcelain dolls, teasing inexperienced hormonal guys with stitch-by-stitch parameters involving your underwear. Well, I hate to tell you that anything involving your underwear is gonna indicate something sexual to any guy, especially one you've dating for a month and allowed yourself to be along with.

    A physical exam? Really? Comparing your boyfriend to a doctor?

    Opinion owner is expressing the common reaction that many guys have today where it seems girls are purposely playing stupid games so they can nit-pick every move and wait for the guy to do anything she perceives as wrong and how much she can get away with so she can post her 'close call' on a site like this.

    You're actually treating him like he's some guy you hooked up with two hours ago?

    • No , is simply no

    • @honeylover21 👍🏻

    • @honeylover21 Too bad women don't think it applies to them too.

  • Yes. If you did not consent it is then to take it even futher by saying exactly you didn't want that yes.

Most Helpful Girl

  • Yes, if he just went ahead and did it without your consent after you told him not to.

    He might not think though, since you didn't freak out about it and say anything.

  • 100% and if he can ignore your boundaries like that he is capable of much worse.

  • Yes, since he did something you expressed for him NOT to do.

  • No prosecutor would take the case.

  • If you said no it's simply no , he should have stopped so it's classified as assault.

  • Not really even though you said to him not to touch you under your pantie but you still allowed it to happen because you didn't want to ruin the mood.

  • Yes, it was.

  • You should have told him to stop when he did. It's possible he got caught up in the moment and forgot

  • negative. you allowed him to continue touching your parts and didn't try to stop him or correct him sorry sweetheart. my advice in the future is to follow through with your instructions and correct him.

  • No🤣! What do you expect when you fool around? LOL why even do anything then? No it's not. You welcomed it

    • If you don't want things to get out of hand, next time don't fool with someone until you're ready for mature sexual engagement. Poor guy should not be getting in trouble over an idiot girl who doesn't even understand her own boundaries!

  • Yes. On the spectrum it’s lighter of course. But no less terrifying I’m sure. Learn from it.

  • It is rape

  • Quite possibly, but you could try asking actual authorities rather than us randos.

  • Not sexual assault. The ONLY way men and women move forward sexually is for men to make a move and women are notorious for saying no but wanting men to try harder.

  • Rofl “touch only over my underwear” so ur alrdy letting this guy in your pants but you draw the line at the underwear? Yeah put him in jail XD women r fucked in the head these days.

    • Sexual touching over the underwear/pants does not always have to indicate sex. It's part of making out in some instances. I made my boundary clear that I didn't want him to touch me below my underwear and he didn't listen. How does that make me fucked in the head?

    • To call that sexual assault is completely fucked. Fair enough he went a little farther than you wanted, but that is a very, very thin line and he went like.1 centimetres over it

    • Ok, so let's say you are going to a doctors office for a year physical exam. You are getting up there in years so I am assuming you are probably getting around that age where they need to start checking your prostate. Now, it isn't your favorite thing in the world but you know it is necessary and so you unbutton your pants and drop them to your ankles, bending over to allow the doctor to do his thing. Imagine your surprise when instead of just his fingers going inside you, the second hand reaches around and grabs your manhood in a sensual way the entire time he is still inside you. Now, based on your philosophy, you gave him access to go inside your pants so clearly you can't say or do anything about it because that would be... *checks notes* ..."F*cked in the head" of you. Good to know.
