Verbal cues
You must get consent from your partner if you plan to engage in sexual activity. There are many methods to obtain this consent.
Verbal cues are the easiest way to give consent. You can say "yes" and also give physical cues such a nod or head shake. There are other nonverbal cues that you should consider.
Sometimes, nonverbal cues are more difficult to understand than verbal cues. If someone is passionate about having sex, their facial expressions can help you tell. Similar to the previous example, if you feel uncomfortable with your partner's facial expressions, let them be aware that you do not want to have sex.
Your partner should give you positive feedback when you are having sex. Let them know when you are ready to stop and what is your comfort level. This will help you set boundaries.
Another way to give consent is through a written consent form. Most participants don’t know how to complete a consent form. To help you understand what to do, a research coordinator can give additional information.
Consent is an ongoing agreement. It is therefore important to be clear about what consent means for you. A person should never be assumed to have consented to your actions.
Apart from verbal and written consents, consent can also be given nonverbally. Nonverbal cues could include eye contact or body movements, posture, or facial expressions.
It is simple to understand verbal consent, but it is difficult to interpret nonverbal cues. Furthermore, not all nonverbal cues will be the same.
You can avoid this by being informed about the steps you need to take. Ask your partner for help if you have questions. They will be happy and able to assist you.
It is difficult to know if someone you're having sex intoxicated. But you need to be aware of their body language.
It is possible to consent by using both verbal and nonverbal cues. You can change your mind at any moment. Always respect your decision.
