This is your permission slip. This is your license.
If you have had feelings or thoughts, maybe even some sexual contacts, that you’ve been told are wrong because you’re not supposed to be with…
- someone of a different or specific race
- someone of the same gender
- someone of certain gender identities
- someone of certain sexual orientations
- more than one person
- someone older or younger than you
- someone who is a close relative or family member
If both or all of you are:
- able to consent
- free to consent per the rules of whatever existing relationships you have that you want to keep intact
- consenting
It doesn’t matter if people who aren’t involved don’t like it.
Whether you don’t know if they’d consent yet, or you’ve already gotten together with them & are questioning it, or you’re somewhere between those places, know that…
- You’re not alone - many people have felt, thought, and done this and are feeling, thinking, and doing this
- It’s not wrong to feel your feelings
- It’s not wrong to think your thoughts
- It’s not wrong for people to consent to share affection or play
- What matters is consent
- You’re more likely to regret not trying than respectfully and carefully trying
