Asking for Consent

Introduction

There is an assumption that sex (or any sexual activity) “should just happen”, and that it “kills the mood” if you plan or talk about it.

Consent is mandatory and talking about needs, wants, and desires can be empowering and sexy. It can greatly enhance sexual activity and strengthen relationships
