When you ask someone to dance, do you assume they'll say yes? Why treat intimacy like a performance? You may feel pressure to know what to do, or worry asking will spoil the moment. But silence, uncertainty, or going along isn't a yes. Consent means freely given agreement, and it can change at any time. Speak plainly: "Is this comfortable?" "Would you like to pause?" Listen, and notice whether you both feel at ease. Checking in gives you room to be honest about what feels comfortable for each of you. Intimacy isn't a lesson one person gives. It's a choice you make together, again and again. Either of you can stop without explaining. No one owes closeness; pressure has no place here. You don't have to get it right; making love feels right when both freely want it, keep communicating, and can stop.
