How to build a culture of consent:
- Ask 1st when initiating sex
- Give relevant info (STI & relationship status, if ur looking for a hookup/love)
- Learn to graciously receive a no
- Speak out against predatory, coercive, nonconsensual behaviors & institutions that tolerate them

Research shows that discussing pleasure in sex education increases condom use. Sex ed is more effective when it affirms that sexual expression can be a positive thing and that pleasure is a perfectly good reason to have sex.
Teaching consent doesn't make sense if you don't talk about pleasure.
How do you know what you do & don’t want if you don't understand your feelings of desire and pleasure?
In order to give meaningful consent, you need to know what you want—and that what you want matters.
Vulvas are supposed to smell like genitals, not roses! Scented vulva hygiene products and douches can cause irritation and even mess with the vagina’s natural pH balance, which can cause infection. Vulvas are self-cleaning—let them do their thing.
