On July 29, 2019, a crucial reminder was shared with men on the importance of understanding the basics of sex and relationships.

As relationships evolve, it's essential for men to grasp the fundamental principles of consent, communication, and mutual respect.

Consent is everything

Guys, the most critical aspect of any relationship is consent. No means no, and it's not a coded word for yes. Pressuring or coercing someone into saying yes is a serious issue that can lead to severe consequences.

When a partner says no, it's essential to respect their decision and give them space. An accusation of rape or the actual act is not something to be taken lightly.

Dating is not a green light for sex

Not all relationships are sexual, and some people prefer to practice celibacy. It's crucial to ask your partner about their boundaries and expectations before engaging in any physical activity.

Just because someone agrees to be your girlfriend or fiancée doesn't mean they're consenting to sex.

Sex can happen outside of dating

On the flip side, sex can occur outside of a traditional relationship. People have different forms of sex-based agreements, and it's essential to respect each other's boundaries and desires.

So, no need to pretend to date someone just to get sex with them.
