    Implicit consent. I think now you need explicit verbal or written consent

      You can’t prove verbal anyway. If you have a penis, you should always have a written contract, particularly for casual encounters.

      But this change I believe was more about no longer needing a threat of violence for rape to be considered rape. No longer on the victim to prove that there was a threat of violence.
