Episode notes
Relationship Climate Influences Sex
- Relationship climate, non-sexual affection, and sexual history with partners shape sexual health.
- Seasonal roles and other close relationships also influence sexual experiences.
Make Consent Continuous And Clear
- Treat consent as a continuous, eroticizable practice and obtain permission at each stage.
- Remember past consent doesn't permit future acts and silence or incapacitation are not consent.
Use Refusal Skills In Long-Term Relationships
- In committed relationships, practice refusal and delay skills and offer alternative bonding activities.
- Create options (e.g., shower together, foot rub) so 'no' doesn't mean loss of connection.
