Is it true?

Is it true what plannedparenthood.org says : "If your partner says “no,” doesn’t say anything, or says yes but seems unsure or uncomfortable, then you DON’T have consent."
Is that true?

Btw,if this post belongs to some other category,just move it there.

Hi IAmScared,

Those parameters are what we, and many other sex ed organizations, use to highlight the need for enthusiastic consent . In other words, we define things that way to teach people that only an excited, freely given "yes" should be considered consent. You can read more about that here: Driver's Ed for the Sexual Superhighway: Navigating Consent

Since it has been an issue in the past, I want to remind you that while we can give you information about things like consent, we will NOT keep talking with you about your abuse here, nor will we be rehashing the minutia of what "counts" as abuse.
