S*xual consent applies the first time and every time you have s*x.
Making a decision on if and when to have s*x is always yours and should never be to please your partner or anyone else, to appear mature, or because you think you ‘should’.
If you know you’re ready, make sure you protect yourself and your partner against s*xually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV and unwanted pregnancy.
It could be your first time or you may have had s*x before. You may be thinking about whether you’re gay or straight, or whether you’re bis*xual. You might not be sure yet and you don’t have to be. Whatever’s going on, it’s natural to ask yourself if you’re ready to have s*x with your partner. There are no set rules, but there are some things to consider that will help you decide.
Am I ready for s*x?
Deciding if and when to have s*x with someone is a very personal decision and is known as giving your ‘s*xual consent’. You also need to get your partner’s s*xual consent. It should feel right for you and for the person you’re with, as you’re making a joint decision.
If you decide to be s*xually intimate in any way, it’s completely within your rights to stop at any point, or not to do it again.What is s*xual consent?
S*xual consent means agreeing to take part in any kind of s*xual activity, not just penetrative va**nal or a**l s*x. It applies every time you have s*x and it’s an ongoing process – you might agree to s*x earlier on and then change your mind – that's okay.
Sometimes, it’s not clear what consent means. You have the right to say ‘no’ at any time – it doesn’t matter if you’ve had s*x with your current partner before or anyone else.
Too much verbal can kill the moment but there are other ways to check in with your partner for consent and to understand what they like, for example, eye contact, sounds and touch. Finding other ways to communicate with each other to get consent can also heighten pleasure and make you both feel even better!stay on this page for more information about s*xuality and s*xual consent any question or concern please feel free to inbox .
