How to Navigate Sex

It's all about Consent

Consent is when a person gives permission for something to happen or makes an agreement to do something. It can be related to everyday activities or sexual activity. Consent is an important part of healthy relationships and communities.

You must get consent before and at each stage of a sexual interaction.

“Can I kiss you” or “Do you want to go further?” or “What are you looking for in a sexual experience?” or “What are you comfortable with” or “Where are your boundaries?” or “How are you going to set those boundaries”

You must get consent when the activity changes – like going from making out to intimate touching.

“Can I try something different?” or “Do you like it when I do this?” or “Should we grab contraception?”  or “What would you like to try?” or “What do you definitely want?” or “What do you definitely not want?”

You must get consent even if you have had a sexual interaction before.

“Do you want to have sex again?”
