I did not say that no one practices explicit consent. My statement was in the context of an example.

Okay then I don't understand the main point.

"No sex without explicit consent before marriage" seems to be a lot less restrictive then "No sex before marriage".

I can't see how you find the second a good norm but don't like the first norm.
