Mike Domitrz walks through how to ask for consent: make eye contact, smile, ask directly, then respect the answer. Most people fail at the last part, expecting someone who says no to justify it instead of accepting it.
I'm gonna ask you 2 questions I ask every audience in the world. I want you to answer this from your heart. Not what you think I want to hear. Question number 1, does every human being deserve a choice before you do something with their body sexually or intimately? Yes or no? Yes. Question number 2, how do you normally give somebody a choice in life? You simply ask, eh? First. So we all believe in asking first. So then the question is, how do you actually do that? Number 1, first step of any intimate moment, look the person in the eyes. Step number 2, smile. This should be fun. Number 3, ask the question. Now, once you ask the question, respect the, the answer. Are people good at this? No. In fact, if a partner says no, if you say no to a partner, what one-word question are you expecting back? How messed up is that? You're expecting them to question your decision instead of respecting it. This is all it takes to ask for, right? It needs these 4 things.
