How can you be sure you have consent?

1. Observe

  • Is the other person returning your caresses, kisses and advances?

  • Are they avoiding your eyes?

  • Do they seem hesitant?

​

2. Take the context into account

  • Is the other person intoxicated?

  • Make sure they are awake and conscious throughout the entire sexual activity.

​

3. Use words

  • Is everything ok?

  • Do you want to do more? 

  • Do you want to keep going?

  • How do you feel? Do you like this?

  • Does this bother you?
