perceptions of sexual intent  

Definition

  • People's perceptions of sexual intent are their judgments that others are interested in them as sexual partners. The degree of interest people judge to exist may range from simple recognition (in which others merely notice their potential as partners) to avid pursuit (in which others' desires for them are blatant and conspicuous).
