Hey people! Have you seen that awesome video that is around internet? We just saw it, and we regret that it took 1 year for us to see it!
You’ve watched it right? Wasn’t it so cool? Let’s have a look to what we’ve just seen. By replacing sex with tea, it just made it so much easier and fun to understand the importance of the consent.
When we feel sexual attraction towards another person we tend to assume that other person also feels the same. So we act. We try to kiss, we try to touch and we try to have sex, but the point that we miss is what the other person thinks. So this video reminds us that there is a genius way of learning what they think. JUST ASK THEM. We know that emotions, relationships, and sex in general in complicated. But we can make it easier by just asking. Because without consent it is not something fun anymore, indeed it is forcing. The other thing we liked was the emphasis on how people can change their ideas. Just because you had sex with them already doesn’t mean that they want to have sex with you all the time. It made us think about marriages and long term relationships. Even though you are deeply in love, and are comfortable with one another in bed, doesn’t mean that you can do it without their will. Sexual violence from partners are not taken as much seriously as from the ones that are not. Because people assume that consent is forever. In fact, it is not.
So let’s all remember that, just because we made a tea, doesn’t mean that they have to drink it. So “whether it is sex or tea, consent is everything”.
