Inching is the action of attracting or otherwise inciting a person’s arousal through touch and without verbal exchange. It requires a very gradual, tentative seduction that commonly begins with “innocent” or “accidental” contact, which progresses in response to reciprocation from the recipient (or discontinues by their cessation). The ambiguity of consent is likely to result in it being considered unlawful sexual harassment if malicious intent is proven. However, the extremely gradual nature of the action means it rarely develops beyond ‘innocent’ without some sort of reciprocal activity, implying consent and reducing likelihood of legal justification. Variation: Inched
