The best and only respectful way to know if someone wants to continue or stop is to communicate clearly during the moment. You can ask gentle, direct questions like “Are you okay?” or “Do you want to keep going?” and pay attention to both their words and comfort level. If they seem tense, quiet, pull away, or stop responding positively, that’s a sign to pause immediately and check in. Consent isn’t just a one-time “yes” — it must continue the whole time. When both people feel safe, respected, and comfortable, that’s what makes intimacy healthy and real.
If a woman says “yes,” “keep going,” or shows she’s enjoying it while staying relaxed and responsive, that means she wants to continue. But if she says “stop,” “wait,” “no,” or goes quiet, pulls away, or looks uncomfortable, that means stop immediately. Never guess — always ask, “Are you okay?” or “Do you want to keep going?” Consent must be clear, calm, and confident every time.
