It does? If a girl walks up and kisses me and starts putting her hands inside my clothes, I have to make her verbally state her consent before I can engage in any sexual interaction?
Is it sexual assault to lean in to kiss a girl on a first date without first asking for permission? What about running a hand up her thigh or along her breasts?
I'm pretty sure the law only requires consent, which can be implied from things like an ongoing relationship, climbing into bed with someone, and even tiny actions like rolling onto one's back and/or spreading one's legs slightly while kind of just lying there.

I don't live in the US and IANAL but based on the consensus here, pretty much the girl can do whatever she wants.
I think your only saving grace is marriage and we all know sex stops them, so its a moot point as you wouldn't engage in the activity any way.
I'd definitely want verbal consent from a woman on a date if I do anything you describe. Thats just reckless, this is not the 1950s any more and you are just asking for a world of hurt. Its a man's responsibility to ask. Apparently women lose
agency in the present of a penis and can't take responsibility for themselves. Unless your Brad Pitt I'd doubt women lose all control in your presence.
Heck she can be hot and heavy with you, but if you want to do anything sexual with her you need her verbal consent. Lest she regrets it later and gets you charged for rape or sexual assault.
I am led to believe the letter of the law tends to favor women which is done to address any power imbalance men have over women.
Simply put, a woman can do what ever the hell she wants to you and she doesn't need to get your verbal consent. If you want to do anything sexual with her regardless of what she is doing to you, you need her verbal consent before you can proceed.
It sounds unfair, though imagine if this was reality:

Things like
this might of been widespread in the (distant) past so women needed laws to protect them.
