“Yes” doesn’t always mean “yes” when you haven’t created a situation in which your partner feels comfortable saying “no.”

I feel like this should be obvious. But every time I see someone say “yes means yes; no means no” I cringe a little. Consent isn’t always that simple.

It needs to be informed, aware, and freely-given consent.

THIS.

Always in need of reminding.
