Wetness is a natural physiological response but consent is a conscious , enthusiastic and ongoing agreement to engage in sexual activity . Without consent , any sexual act is not only disrespectful but also illegal !

Just because you get wet , it does not mean you are horny . It just means your body is responding functionally ! Let's clear something up : just because someone's body responds to touch or arousal with wetness , it does NOT mean they are giving their consent .

This is called arousal non-concordance . It may confuse some and could feel like the body has betrayed the mind , but it's a normal reaction . Physical arousal # Sexual arousal . You can be in a sexual situation and wet but it is absolutely okay and normal not to want sex . Wetness is not body language for consent, only an explicit "Yes" is .

So let's prioritise communication , respect and mutual pleasure in our intimate encounters . Let's educate ourselves and each other about consent and create a culture of safety and empowerment for all . Let's change the narrative from 'she was wet , so she wanted it' to 'she said yes, so we both enjoyed it' ! I
