What is what to say when he says he wants to be inside you?

When a partner expresses a desire to be intimate with you, communication and consent are key. Here are some considerations and possible responses:

  1. Assess Your Feelings: Determine how you feel about the suggestion. Are you comfortable and ready for this level of intimacy?

  2. Consent: Your consent is crucial. If you’re okay with it, express your consent clearly. If you’re not, be honest and straightforward about your feelings.

  3. Communicate Clearly: Use "I" statements to express your feelings. For example:

    • If you’re comfortable, you might say, "I feel ready to take this step with you."
    • If you need more time or aren't ready, you could say, "I’m not ready for that step yet."
  4. Discuss Boundaries and Preferences: If you’re both open to it, discuss boundaries, contraceptive methods, and preferences to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for both.

  5. Check for Mutual Feelings: Ensure both partners are on the same page emotionally. Intimacy should be a mutual decision based on respect and care.

  6. Be Respectful and Understanding: Regardless of your decision, it’s crucial that both you and your partner respect each other's feelings and boundaries.

Remember, it’s okay to take your time and only proceed when both parties feel confident and secure in their decision to be intimate.
