Elle this is such a great piece, thank you!

I have so many thoughts on this subject stemming from having some bad non-consensual personal experiences myself and hoping that my teenage daughter never suffers the same and uses her voice without feeling any fear to say no or speak up.

Sex for me is all about connection, it must be mutual and both must feel safe.

If sex is going to be transactional, all terms and conditions should be met. Just like any sound negotiation, read all the fine print and make sure there is a cooling off period.

I can’t say much about porn because I’m one of the few that doesn’t watch it. Ok maybe there was a couple of VHS tapes that someone lent me years ago. Let’s just say I was gobsmacked when I heard Princess Cruises was offering free Porn while passengers were in quarantine on one of their ships. That was an eye opener for me on how mainstream it is.
