Free relationships & wellbeing tip: Check-in phrases that sound human (step 2 of 8 from "Enjoy Intimacy With Consent and Communication").
You do not need a legal lecture mid-moment. Short works: 'Still good?' 'More or less?' 'Want to switch?' 'Pause?' Partner answers with words, not just sounds — 'yes,' 'slower,' 'stop.' If someone stops responding, treat that as a pause, not permission to continue harder.
Before intimacy, a longer talk on another day helps: what you like, what is off the table, safer-sex boundaries, and how you each signal discomfort. That conversation stays between you — not group chat, not social media.
You'll need
- Hard limits written privately
