I wish I didn't have to say this, but this is your reminder that no means no. Always. Consent is voluntary, and can be revoked at any time. Just because someone let you do something to them once doesn't grant you permission to do that thing forever. If a person let you do something to them, but then later told you to stop doing that to them, you stop. Immediately. If someone said you could do x thing to them anytime, but then, for some reason, told you no, you pull back, you stop, and you wait for when, or if, they consent again. Consent doesn't exclusively apply to sex. This applies to any form of touching, verbal interactions, or emotional interactions where someone's boundaries could be violated. No is a full sentence. Respect it, honor it, and to anyone out there who's reading this, use it. Never, ever feel afraid to say no. Anyone who's not respecting you saying no is frankly a boundary abusing asshole, and doesn't deserve your attention. Take care of yourselves and respect each other out there.

@Kaliah It should be noted that not saying "no" doesn't imply consent either. If someone is passed out or incapacitated, it's not okay to take advantage. The only thing you should do in that situation is make them comfortable, like covering with a blanket if it's cold, and maybe place a bucket nearby in case they vomit.

@DamonCrowley This. The only thing that indicates consent is either a straightforward yes, or some implication of yes that can be confirmed with the other party beyond a doubt. Nothing else gives you consent unless the party you are doing something too explicitly tells you yes, and of course that only applies if they're aware and able to tell you to stop if they want to. Doing something to someone while they are unaware or unable to stop you is also not consensual

@DamonCrowley @Kaliah yep if there isn’t an un-intoxicated, enthusiastic yes it is a no.
