After being coerced and assaulted in the past, I love it when my partner asks if I’m okay with what he’s doing to me or wants to do. It’s not hard for anyone to ask you first, “Can I kiss you?”, “Can I touch you?”, “Can we have sex tonight/make love?”, etc. I was so happy when he asked if he could kiss me instead of going for it like other past experiences and also before any heavy patting took place he asked if he could touch me. It only took a few seconds and I enthusiastically said, “Hell yes, let’s go!”. Even today, he still asks for consent before proceeding and asks in different ways like, “Do you want me?(sexually)” and it’s just such a breath of fresh air and makes me love him even more. Asking for consent doesn’t disrupt anything and should be part of the process
