Hey, give me a kiss. Whoa! By the way, does that stuff happen? Are there people that make demands like that with more advanced sexual activity? Like, do this, do this to me. Do people do that? Yes or no? Is it okay? Here's why it is never okay. That's called a demand. A demand implies you owe me, because you can never demand something of someone they don't owe you. So here's the question of the day. Do you ever owe a human being sexual intimacy? Yes or no? Never, no matter how long you've been together, no matter how much money they've spent on you, no matter how far you've gone with this person earlier in the night or previously, no matter how— if they're a senior and you're new to campus, you never owe sexual intimacy.
