How do you communicate?

Contributor: Genderfree Genderfree
Consent is really important thing, and I know it's different for everyone. So I was curious: how far does communication go with your partner as far as what you want and how you want it?

My partner and i always discuss before or during what we woud like/do not like and are very direct with one an other about our sexual fantasies or what makes us uncomfortable. However sometimes if we're too heated and in the moment to actually discuss what we want/dont want we will move one an others hands. Body language is also important and there are certain cues to look for, but like moaning, it's not the best indicator of consent. Safe words are also very important too, specially for those into heavy bdsm or who role play (such as rape fantasies) because you need to know when you're partner has had enough and you've possibly crossed the line, regardless on how well you may know one an other. I didn't choose that as an option for myself as my partner and i only practice very lite bsdm and have previously discussed what is and isn't okay to do.

It depends...a little bit of everything other than safe words. We're never in situations where those are necessary.

We do a lot of non-verbal things - but are getting better at talking about stuff. Often after something new to see if she liked it - and how to do it better.

A bit of everything, except the "moving their hand" one, that actually annoys me.

All of the above, as well as some "de-briefing" afterwards, especially if we've tried something new.

We use several of these things, and in combination with each other.
