“Stop!”
The person you are with has just told you to “Stop”. What’s your response?
Correct Response: Stop what you are doing immediately and say an appropriate combination of the following:
“Oh gosh, sorry. Are you okay?”, “What was it that you didn’t like?”, “Where did I go too far?”, “What do you want to do?”, “How do you feel?”, “Thank you for letting me know that you were uncomfortable with what I was doing.”, “I’m not mad”, “It’s okay, the important thing is that you’re comfortable.”
The Incorrect Response: Any and all of the following:
“Why?”, “Oh, come on!”, “I know you like it”, “But I can’t stop now!”, “But I know you’ve done this before!”, “Make me.”
It doesn’t matter how much you want them, how close you are, or their past sexual experiences. No means no & stop means stop.
