💜 Substances & Consent: What You Need to Know
Consent can become more complicated when alcohol or other substances are involved, but one thing is always clear: consent must be freely given, informed, and ongoing.
Before engaging in sexual activity, check in with your partner. Are they alert and aware of what's happening? Can they understand the situation and communicate their choices? If someone is too intoxicated to understand what's happening or make and communicate a voluntary choice, they cannot consent. When you're unsure, stop. It's always better to wait until everyone can clearly and freely communicate their consent.
Looking out for your partner means respecting their boundaries, paying attention to their well-being, and never making assumptions. Consent is a shared responsibility, and everyone deserves a safe, respectful, and consensual experience. 💜
