I struggled with what to title this week’s episode. Primarily because I mostly want to say, “UGH, don’t do THESE things! EVER!” But that’s not very descriptive is it? This week’s episode was inspired by a conversation we had with a single friend who’s constantly pursued by people looking for a partner — long-term or a hook-up. They detailed not illegal things but still gross, harmful, and just plain BAD behavior. And so we went on a rant about it and wanted to plant a flag, draw a line in the sand, and say, “This is not okay.”

Turning a pleasant conversation into an “invitation” to send nonconsensual nudes
Getting into the other person’s physical space.
Sharing kinky or sexual details they didn’t ask to hear about
Not being that way with everyone and creating doubt when someone steps forward
Consent isn’t that difficult — just ask before you do something AND listen when someone tells you to stop or doesn’t respond. Not responding isn’t automatically an invitation to keep doing it.
