Does genital contact automatically make an assault sexual then?

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

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.
