Mutual Agreement Voluntary Consent For any sexual activity (any actions that satisfy sexual desires), including hugging, kissing, touching, oral sex, vaginal intercourse, or anal intercourse. The willingness to engage in sexual activity must be voluntary, without being coerced by anyone or anything. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, meaning even if you agree beforehand, you can refuse if you feel uncomfortable during the process. Clear Communication The Right to Refuse Every time you engage in intimate activities, you must obtain clear consent from the other person, such as through verbal confirmation. If you’re unsure of the other person’s willingness or sense any hesitation or uncertainty, stop the intimate activity and communicate with them to understand each other’s boundaries and feelings. Both parties have the right to refuse at any time, meaning if someone feels uncomfortable during the act, they can still say no. Being in a marriage or a relationship does not mean you are obligated to fulfill the other person’s sexual demands. If you have any questions about sexual consent or consensus, you can watch the video on the side – “Tea Consent” – to learn more about its meaning. 共識的迷思 Share Select Topic Sending Private Photos to a Partner—Am I to...
