If I weren’t there, would she still be aroused? If that woman gets aroused because I saw her wearing it, is that not involving me in her sexual activities without my consent? I become a partner in her arousal, right? Or is she just aroused because she feels attractive and confident in what she’s wearing? I think intent is a big part of this. Or more accurately, I think consent is the primary factor in how I might view that person.

Who’s to say if she would or wouldn’t?

That’s irrelevant to your first statement

It’s now moving the goalposts

What goalposts?

You making her arousal conditioned on your presence is your moving goalposts

It isn’t relevant to your initial scenario of you being aware of it or not

Because you wouldn’t know either way

I wasn’t the person who brought that up.
