Enthusiastic consent can look like this:
-Asking permission before you change the type or degree of sexual activity with phrases like βIs this OK?β
-Confirming that there is reciprocal interest before initiating any physical touch.
-Letting your partner know that you can stop at any time.
-Periodically checking in with your partner, such as asking βIs this still okay?β
-Providing positive feedback when youβre comfortable with an activity.
-Explicitly agreeing to certain activities, either by saying βyesβ or another affirmative statement, like βIβm open to trying.β
-Using physical cues to let the other person know youβre comfortable taking things to the next level.
