Sexual Consent – Different Styles for Different Personalities

Sweet and loving ways to give consent:

  1. The Tender Whisper: Lean in close and whisper your desires gently into your partner's ear. Use phrases like, "I really want to be close to you right now," or "I've been thinking about this, and I'd love to share this moment with you." The soft and intimate approach can create an atmosphere of trust and tenderness.

  2. The Loving Note: Leave a heartfelt note or a message to express your desire for intimacy. You could write something like, "I adore you and can't wait to be close with you tonight," or "I'm looking forward to sharing this special moment with you." A written message adds a personal touch and shows thoughtfulness.

  3. The Gentle Touch: Sometimes, your body language can speak volumes. Initiate physical contact by caressing your partner's hand or cheek and express your desire through touch. As you draw closer, say something like, "I've been yearning to be close to you," or "Can I show you how much I desire you?" Non-verbal cues paired with sweet words can be incredibly powerful.

Lighthearted and creative ways to give consent:

  1. Role-Play and Fantasy: Engage in role-play scenarios or fantasies with your partner to set the mood for consent in a playful way. Create a playful scene where you and your partner take on different characters and roles, and then ask for consent within the context of your fantasy. For example, if you're both fans of a particular movie or show, you could say, "In a galaxy far, far away, a Jedi knight requests your consent for a passionate adventure. What say you, my love?"

  2. The Consent Game: Turn the act of obtaining consent into a playful game. You can use a board game like "Truth or Dare" or create your own "Consent Challenge" game. Take turns asking each other fun and flirty questions, and make sure that obtaining consent is one of the challenges. It adds an element of excitement and ensures that consent is a central theme during your intimate moments.

  3. Secret Code Words: Create a secret code or phrase that signals your desire and consent. It can be a fun way to communicate your intentions discreetly. For example, you might agree that saying, "The penguin is ready to slide," means you're in the mood for intimacy. This can add a sense of playfulness and anticipation to your encounters.
