Consent

Alright, so here's the thing, I've been dating this guy for 10 months and he's always been so patient with me and fully supported me with everything. Last night he wanted to take things further (hand down my pants further) and I wasn't comfortable so he literally stopped, hugged me and rubbed my back saying it was perfect okay and that he loved me regardless of how far we went. And like, god damn, I love him.

Here's the thing though, I really want girls to also understand that a person's worth it if they respect you with what you're saying. I said no, and my boyfriend fully understood my consent.

The media portrays people as having to have sex at the beginning of high school, and if you don't do it in college you're definitely "shammed". But in reality, you should go at a pace you're comfortable with, but also a pace your SO is comfortable with.
