🚨 NSFW 🚨 We hear all the time about “affirmative consent” but please be honest, do you personally REALLY want someone to ask if you’re down or would it kill your vibe? And where in the process would this happen?

Yes, please ask first
No, I want him to just do it

No obviously I want them to ask. Affirmative consent is literally the only consent. Whoever initiates the sex has the responsibility to ask.

My bf asks me before he does basically anything and to me it’s the biggest turn on.

if he’s not my bf i expect him to explicitly ask every time. when i’m in a committed relationship with my bf i am more okay with him initiating without explicitly asking as long as he respects it if i shut it down

Obviously if it’s a long term relationship he can hug/kiss/touch me without asking. But even before he puts it in he asks, “Are you ready?” And waits for me to say yes. For new relationships/dating I expect him to say, “is it okay if I….” And then either fill in the blank or gesture

Just don’t make it weird. Mostly ask before you do something and do it seductively

Personally I’m married, If my husband and I are in the moment and he’s just really turned on I don’t mind if he doesn’t ask bc don’t hate me but yes in that case it does kill my mood a bit. He does still ask me anyways most of the time though just because. But if he just outta the blue wants it then yes ask. Don’t just assume I’m okay with it.

I mean in my relationship there’s been both like consent from asking first and then implied consent, like when he starts making moves and I start doing it back, but I definitely think asking a person first is a good idea

PERSONALLY, in my relationship I LOVE when my man just wants me, he just comes on and starts kissing me or some shit and it initiates it, total mood killer FOR ME PERSONALLY if he would ask. again i’m in a healthy committed relationship and have been for seven years, it is implied, and if i don’t wanna do it at that moment i say eh not now and my boundaries are respected

You can always get consent before engaging in activities- and have a safe word. This creates the best of both worlds. They can withdraw consent with a safe word, and the mood isn’t interrupted. But you can also get consent in a way that also fits the mood.

Ask but ask in a seductive way, it’s the way they ask that either can kill the vibe or make it so much hotter

If we’re relatively new to fucking each other, I want to be asked. If we’ve established some sort of relationship where I know I could say stop and you would without hesitation or judgement, I don’t mind just going forward without being asked. If ever you’re uncertain, just ask. It’s not that big of a mood ruiner

Once you’ve been together for over a year or so, you can much more reliably read body language and understand and plan out like “hey I’m going to drink later but I still want to have sex” and what not but early relationship? Literally you can’t do anything other than affirmative consent.

And as to when, while making out is normally the most convenient but sooner works too. Just break away from the kiss for a second and ask “do you want to have sex” and anything other than “yes/absolutely/mhm/please/(fill in positive affirmation)” is a NO

And this isn’t something that just opinionated. This is the legal definition of consent. Saying nothing or not stopping you is not consent. And even if a handful or girls think it kills the mood, it’s better to kill the mood than rape someone.

If you’re already kissing/making out and feeling each other up you can say, “Can I…” trail off and then either gently tug at her shirt, pants, skirt, whatever

If you don’t want your bf to ask for consent if you’re already naked great! Tell him that. Other girls won’t want the same thing. Just communicate with your partner ffs. I personally have had times I’m naked around my bf and I still don’t want him doing certain things. The default should be ask unless someone tells you otherwise

i agree with you #11, if i tell someone no to something they should respect it, but if my pants are off that’s consent in MY eyes, and if i don’t want more i won’t give more. again, MY opinion, if you don’t agree that’s fine and i don’t have a problem with it. But we are all different so maybe just speak your mind to your partner, they don’t always have to ask if you open your mouth. AGIAN JUST MY OPINION AND IM NOT LOOKING FOR YOU TO BE A DICK ABOUT MY MY MY OPINION. lemme clarify again, MY.

i mean everyone is completely different and that’s why just being able to talk yourself and put up boundaries is important, i don’t believe the guy always has to be the one saying the hard things when we can do it too. again, for the rest of you, this is my opinion.

Way to twist words. If we are actively kissing and touching each other and I’m naked. It’s very safe for the other to assume sex is okay. THATS MY OPINION. I’m honestly not sure why you’re so upset

Could you understand it from the guy’s though? Like if you were a guy how would you approach this situation? I personally thinking always asking and getting explicit consent is better safe than sorry. You could always just remind him next time he could go for it instead but for the first time it has to be clear.
