The Consent We Give Our Partner
Permission is an essential discussion between any couple, but it becomes even more crucial when you're open.
When it comes to consent, what's usually discussed is getting consent from the person with whom you would like to have a physical interaction.
What's not talked about as much is giving consent to your partner on what you're comfortable with them doing with others so that they don't cross any boundaries you may have.
The tricky part of this whole thing is doing it without being too controlling or possessive. After all, shouldn't each person have the right to their own body and actions? (You're not the boss of me!)
Let the discussion begin!
Happy swinging!
