Is this sexual assault

If a girl lays face down and a guy sits on top of her plays with her butt and she laughs but doesn’t say no or to stop ?

No?

If this were sexual assault then most boyfriends messing with their girlfriend's butts would be in deep trouble... :P

You don't need to explicitly say 'yes' to have consent, it can be assumed from their reaction. e.g. laughing

What about if the person seems to fall asleep when the guy is on top of her playing with her butt ?

If you're genuinely confused about consent then watch this classic video...

If you're uncertain, it's best to make sure they're conscious and want to be taking part in what's going on.

If the girl didn't give any indication she didn't like it, indeed indicating the opposite by laughing, and didn't ask him to stop then I don't think it's assault. I think if you are in a relationship then you don't need to ask for consent on everything, you kinda know what's ok and the other person should say if they dont like it. I'm a girl and I can see it would be stupid for a guy to keep asking for consent to make a move or make the next move
