Take Your Time: Consent and Self-Check Matter
Emphasizing the importance of slowing down in intimate situations, it highlights the prevalence of potential partners and debunks the myth of scarcity. Encouraging individuals to cultivate a pace that feels safe, the practice of 'mental pat down' is proposed as a method for self-checking emotional and physical comfort levels. This involves assessing personal feelings of safety, desire, and the ability to say no at any point. Additionally, fostering open dialogues about consent with partners enhances the experience and ensures mutual enjoyment. Engaging in these check-ins, both solo and with others, contributes to more fulfilling intimate encounters.
