There was a 2014 study I'm trying to find that basically demonstrated it, but it is more or less something all straight men discover with experience. 

Whenever I have sex (this is assuming it is a girl you know well) I never ask for it ... and she never asks me if I'm in the mood either. It is just something you consent to in a nonverbal fashion. If you don't want it, usually you can make your intentions known ... "I'm not feeling well," "I'm tired," etc. etc. Both I and my girlfriend have used that. Honestly a flat out "No!" comes off as incredibly rude and insensitive. Of course, you may want to feel things out more if it is a girl you don't know well ... even still a "I want you" sounds smoother than "do I have your consent to engage in sexual intercourse with you now?"

OK, link me to the study.

This is the best I could find for now, I tried looking for an archive of it, but this is all that came up.

Naturally, it is not a popular subject of research considering its implications. There really needs to be a lot more research on this imo. 

This one below is somewhat related and should be working too, it suggests that men and women look at consent rather differently, and men in particular tend to interpret people's behaviors as more sexual than a woman would on average.
