Im assuming overt communication is not the way to go about it, unless it is extreme disrespect or something very foul and you need to speak up.
But im talking for more minor-moderate issues, is withdrawing affection received an "Boundary established" in a girls brain or do they need the overtness to make it official.

Maybe, but not with modern hoes that actually cause problems.
With them they are all wise to all of this passive aggressive shit is. You need to be verbally explicit and generate immediate tension when the boundary is pushed. Be clear, don't explain, and when she pushes back don't escalate or be angry.
Present her with 2 choices, being the woman that makes your life nice and easy or having a nice and easy life without her. There's no arguing or discussions. You will have a nice and easy life.

Yes and no. They have to know what the boundary is, i.e. the reason why you are reacting. And that needs to be communicated in a non needy way.

Overt communications signal you're a beta. Use attention like currency... use it to reward good behaviour and withdraw it to punish bad.

I'm thinking it would depend on how long you've been seeing the girl, it may be used mostly on long term relationships but I don't think it would make much for establishing boundaries on plates and FWBs it may backfire, take what I say with a grain of salt though and see what others have to say
