By definition, according to the EEOC that enforces, it must be "unwelcomed."
Actual verbiage from EEOC:
"Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects an individual's employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance, or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment."

Harassment is unwanted attention. If it is welcomed, it is not harassment. However, it is possible for someone who isn't at all related to the situation that can claim sexual harassment your activity is in a public place.

Sexual harassment is when someone makes unwanted sexual advances towards them or unlawful touching of someone's bodies. IT is never welcomed and it is punishable by any company. That is why anywhere you go into any establishment you might see those posters of Sexual Harassment. I personally will say, in order for me to advance in the work force world, I would never in a million years let my supervisor tellme the only way I will get ahead is to have sex with him, he can drop dead for all I care., it's not worth getting a raise. Lots of women (and yes there are men too) that get told this to either put out or get out , which is totally unfair and very discriminative.

Sexual harassment is unwanted sexual remarks, touching, etc.......Does it matter if it's welcomed is a very good question.....and depending on who you talk to you will get different answers......one time i had to take a sexual harassment quiz at work. the question was: what if Bob touches Susan sexually and she welcomes it? Is that OK. I said yes, because they were both in on it.....I got that wrong......why? There is such a thing as 3rd party sexual harassment......In other words Bob and Susan are OK....but Lisa is not.....she can claim sexual harassment.......
That was an eye opener for me.....

Sexual harrasment is deemed to be when one person male or felmale makes some of the following: comments on ones sexual deminor, touches when not welcomed, makes comments that are not welcomed, looks at someone the wrong way, touching a pregnet womens tummy saying can I feel it kick, just about anything that a lawyer can think of that he can earn money out of. Best advice is to write down everything that happens when your at work as that way it is a legal document you only need time date & names & how you felt after the event etc, it is also the new thing in most offices to set people up who are unliked by scaring the crap out of them with a law suit. Oh also if you are not given a promotion due to being to fat, ugly etc I guess you can see that it has now so many meanings just becareful..

Sexual harassment is not welcomed; that is why it is harassment.
Stuff like groping, unwanted advances, demanding sexual favors, sending obscene images, etc.
