In addition to sex: 5 situations in which you need to obtain the consent of

According to a study published in Teen Health, depending on whether they were teenagers lessons on consent, changed the students and attitudes toward sex. Do not receive a lesson to use sex to achieve their own benefit, they had sex with a partner who did not want to, and repeated for the other poses and practices that do not bring them satisfaction. That is why it is important at any age regularly remind people that obtaining consent can improve your sex life.

Discussing the topic voiced aloud consent to sex, people often say that it can be uncomfortable and even kill a playful mood. In fact, asking the consent is fairly easy, and we do it every day - things that are not related to sex. Here are a few situations in which we constantly ask for and obtain the consent and do not experience any problems with this.

1. Embrace a new friend

Embrace - the same kind of physical impact, which is due to interference with the private space, as well as sex. Ask permission for it is much easier than to cause human discomfort. The phrase "Can I hug you?" Is usually enough to get rid of the embarrassment and not to disturb other people's space to demonstrate their desire to warm feelings. If you now have a habit of hugging all friends before they submit a response signal - you risk to create an unpleasant atmosphere.

2. Ordering food

If you are sufficiently educated and respect other people's boundaries, for sure you pre-specified, whether your guests are ready to eat the food that you're going to prepare for them. Someone may be allergic to a certain product, someone is likely to adhere to a strict diet, someone - just does not want pizza for dinner.

In a situation where you and three of your friends are going to have you home, to have a little snack and watch a movie, make sure that they really want to watch this movie and have adored you roll. Oddly enough and presumptuous to think that all the people who share your interests by default. Yes, group chat can complicate the selection process, but only with the consent of the discussion will be obtained from all participants gatherings.

3. Borrowing clothes

The question is, is it possible to take this or that thing, is not complicated and awkward for us - so why do some people still have problems with obtaining the consent of intimacy? If you take the skirt of her friend, do not ask her about it - it's stealing. Do not think that once you've used to take something out of the closet, and a friend allowed, this trick can be repeated after a few months - when you're just you come to visit. In the end, maybe she wanted to wear the right thing today. What someone has said 'yes' once, does not mean that it also applies to all subsequent contacts - as well as in sex.

4. Turn on the crossroads of

We regularly provide signals when driving on the road: turn on the turn signals, emergency gang and even waving his arms drivers nearby. Sometimes you can give the opportunity to drive, simply by showing his hand, that the road is free. But if you start to perform the maneuver without paying attention to other people's behavior - this can lead to an accident. Turn without any signal - a traffic violation, which is able to turn into a dangerous situation that is comparable with physical violence. So if you are trying to drive a car so that it was safe - not be easy to ask consent to sex and for you.

5. Putting others' pictures

netiquette rules imply a permit for something to put a photograph in which other people are present. Some people may not like the expression of the person who is trying to hide the fact of the presence in a certain place. In any case, if you opublikuesh frame with a man who against it - he may even ask to lock your account on the platform. By the way, this rule is often neglected young mothers, publishing photos of children, which can then embarrass the child into adolescence. But the question to ask is as easy as pie: Shows a picture and ask, can you share it.
