Permission: Giving and Receiving

Permission isn't simply "letting others do onto you," it's also about the limits we set on ourselves. By not giving permission—to yourself or your lovers—you can fall into the trap of sabotaging your sex life. Whatever the reason you're holding back—whether it's because you're afraid to step out of your comfort zone; you feel you don't deserve to be satisfied, or because you're limiting lust in a relationship to get the upper hand—withholding consent can be the ultimate buzz kill between the sheets. When your sexual happiness is on the line, maybe it's time to just say, "yes."
