 What does the word consent mean to you? Consent means to me saying to your partner that you're comfortable with doing something, that it's about saying yes or no, and that it's very clear. A person says yes or no. It's a black and white thing. And if someone said yes once, it doesn't mean they're going to say yes again. You've got to ask them every single time because you can't keep. Assuming you've got to see it. Communication between partners is the most important thing. That if they say what they're comfortable with, what they're not comfortable with, and if it shows their emotion, how they're feeling, is a key thing in any relationship. And even if you didn't know a person and you've been with them for a long time, it doesn't mean that you actually know what they're feeling or thinking. However good your communication is, you've got to make sure that you're asking for their opinion and you're not relying on your instincts and your own character judgment of them. You don't always have to say yes because most of the time if the person's asking, they obviously can see your hesitation, they're concerned about you. So you can say no and if they ask, then it's much like it. They'll be perfectly fine with you saying that. What would you advise a friend to do if they felt pressured into getting into a sexual relationship? If there's any feel of pressure, then just straight away just think and just think. Because I'm being pressured into this, it's obviously not conceptual for me to do that. You can say no without any proper reason. You can just say no because my body doesn't want to. Because my instinct says no, I don't want to. You don't have to have the full reason for that past experience. It's also not your fault to say no. You're not in the wrong to say no.
