"must be verbal to count"
no you can use sign language if you feel like it. what it must be is unambiguous, which body language simply is not.

It’s also not even true? If two people with a rapport use body language to express physical intimacy in a non-coercive context, both fall asleep, and then both wake up the next day without issue,it would be nonsense to say both people have committed criminal activity as if they got in a street brawl

you're in general right. i was focusing on specifically enthusiastic consent and discussion around it, where it's generally considered only appropriate if it's not something you can just project on someone. body language is hellishly fraught that way, it's how you get "she was into it" excuses

generally if you wanna do something spicy you REALLY wanna avoid signal ambiguity, hence the pre-discussions of hard boundaries, safe-words/signals, etc.
and with aella that's always at least tangentially the context

She’s also straight up wrong about it not applying to property. If you try to make a contract with a child for inessentials you run into this all the time
