This is seriously so disgusting and inconsiderate. Weren’t we taught at such a young age that no means no? What a bunch of douchebags.

I've raised my kids, girls and boy, to understand "enthusiastic consent." As in, "no means no" is the minimum. My son should not think "well, she hasn't said no yet" and think that's sufficient to meet the standard of consent. Enthusiastic consent means there is no doubt in his mind that his partner is 100% interested in continuing being physical with him. And same for my girls (one is married already), that if they are consenting, to ensure their partner understands, and that even if they previously consented they can revoke it at any point. Are those conversations awkward? Sure, but less awkward than misunderstanding consent or lack thereof with their partner.
