    I am aghast at the people trolling me with BUT CONSENT WILL MAKE LIFE UNSEXY. If you’re so stumped on how affirmative, verbal consent can make sex sexy, here is like, one of a billion examples I can think of.pic.twitter.com/YJO1G5UvZD

        This is from Hate To Want You. I don’t recall any reviews mentioning the unsexy consensual sex. If you need to further research this topic, it’s $1.99 right now. Enjoy. https://www.amazon.com/Hate-Want-You-Forbidden-Hearts-ebook/dp/B01LYE196D …pic.twitter.com/oyv8pFyrjv

        I’m reading Hate to Want You right now. They just had their (what I assume is not) last time at the motel. Lots of consent. Sexy AF. Which is in keeping with every romance I read that not a DNF. Because lack of consent is grounds for DNF.

        Can attest, both HATE TO WANT YOU and consent in romance books is the sexiest (and I used to read erotica and romance for a living)

        Soooooo much this. Affirmative consent is just about the sexiest thing ever. And it’s as simple as “tell me what you want, please.”

        How do people come up with these things? It takes two lines to give consent, how could that ruin a scene?

        This... doesn't seem sexy to me. But everyone's different and your point is valid! There are ways to give consent without specifying yes to every new move. As adults we should be able to read these non-verbal signals, and the same for a non-verbal 'no'.

        It would be great if everyone acted in good faith. But too many people try NOT to pick up on cues that contact is unwanted, or even any verbal refusal short of a loud "NO"--and maybe a physical shove. (Or slap--like in the old movies.)

        The consent is the sexiest part.
