Consent and "Enthusiastic Maybe"
Come As You Are
Practical Advice for Enthusiastic Consent in a Rigid Society
Enthusiastic consent is the gold standard. Normal sex is when everyone is glad to be there and freely leave with no unwanted consequences. Eliminate the gender binary from your understanding of yourself as a sexual person to access enthusiastic consent. Ambivalence is normal due to conflicting messages about sex and our innate sexual accelerators and breaks. Communicate ambivalence to your partner and explore at the edges of what feels yes while always having a door open for a no. Practice staying over your own emotional center of gravity and rely on your own internal sense of balance.
