You brought intent into it.
You're not comparing like things. I'm a woman. If I were playing in a football match and another woman grabbed or twisted my vulva or breasts I would assume it was an aggressive move designed to put me off my game.

Ok, if the intent was specifically aimed at a sexual organ or genital, or there was sexual intent in the mind of the perpetrator, then yeah, I would consider it sexual assault.
And if you were in that situation, I would also consider it sexual also. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Does genital contact automatically make an assault sexual then?

If you were aiming there purposely when assaulting someone, yeah.

Why?
newX7 t1_ixfa8pu wrote
Because you delibaretely aimed to attack someone at their sexual organ.

So then how do we differentiate legally between that and what we call sexual assault now?

Maybe don’t intentionally aim at people’s sexual genitals unless it’s in defense.

You don't see sny difference between hitting someone in the bollocks in anger and getting a sexual kick from it? They're two very different motives and I think it makes sense to treat them separately.
