Thanks for commenting.

I don't know if "warped" is the right word but I believe that some of my behavior is different than it would be otherwise because I have a horror of being perceived as "leading someone on" sexually or romantically. I don't fear assault per se if I do this, but I fear causing frustration, hurt, anger. The main effect is that I am sometimes uncomfortable with flirting. This might be indirectly related to the existence of sexual assault, or it might be a manifestation of social anxiety that doesn't have anything to do with sexual assault per se.
