"sex is like a boxing match. If one person didnt consent, the other one is committing an assault"

Thread
Imagine sex like a boxing match.

Two people throwing punches at each other. But its okay because they knew what they were doing. They know the risks involved. They even took precautions to minimise said risks. They also understood and agreed to a certains set of laws
But what happen when two people who have boxed in a game before, then outside of the ring, one of the boxers suddenly punched his opponent on the sidewalk?

Is it no longer a crime because they have boxed many time before in the ring?
What if someone else punched the boxer when he was doing chores somewhere?

Is it still a crime to punch him out of the blue eventho his profession is to take punch on the daily?
There is a rise in punching crimes in the city. So the police decides to punish people who punched other people. Great job police

But wait, the boxers get punished too? Eventho they both agreed to box together?
"hey i want to box!", said person A, a 30 yo man. "i want to box this 12 yo girl. Dont worry. She told me she actually want to do this as well. She consented"

Umm wtf person A. Fuck off. A 12 yo cant possibly handle the consequence of boxing at this age.
She cant possibly understand the risks involved. What if she was injured by you? Does she know how to check herself to hospital? Understand law enough to lodge police reports by herself when you punch her non stop? Drive herself there?

Get fucked, person A
Whatever answers you have to the situations above, this analogy is more accurate than your usual "candy & ant", "unlocked house & thief", "meat & dog" or wtv analogies.

BECAUSE IT DEPICTS BOTH PARTICIPANTS AS ACTUAL HUMANS.
To men, women, potential offenders, people who thinks boyfriend tak boleh rogol girlfriend, potential victims,

Please discard the other analogies and live by this one. So you WOULD KNOW when:
-you wronged
-you were wronged
-your friends were wronged
Lets start by changing mindsets first
yo can you imagine if you punched other person without consent and the puncher was like

"but her face was so punchable. I cant stop myself from repeatedly throwing punches. Ya i did it for 8 minutes non stop and she screamed at me to stop. But it was all accidental"

Lmao fk off
Oh also, you know you can tap out during a match right? If it gets too much, painful, or wtv, you can tap out.

If your partner tapped out, but you kept punching and not stopping, you're an asshole!

Now apply that to sex
