It's an important word, and this thread is all about how you communicate it.
In the midst of a meet, when things are getting flirty, how would you stop it if things weren't quite right for you, or if you just weren't into it?
How would you stop it in the middle of play when someone does something you didn't agree to?
What are your tips and tricks?
As suggested elsewhere, been a while since it’s been an issue, but both on 1-to-1 meets, and when it’s developed from a social or club meet…
… I’ve always been lucky enough that a straightforward “
no, thanks” or “
ok, this isn’t working for me” has been enough for me to back the fuck away. And
from me, usually a ”
I’m sorry, but this isn’t working for either of us, is it?“ does the trick.
As for the ‘how would you stop it when someone does something you didn’t agree to’ Again, I’ve been fortunate enough that I’ve never done anything that hasn’t been agreed before and no one - with one exception¹ - has done anything I’ve disagreed with.
¹The one exception was the only time I agreed to meet a completely bi couple, where I’d said that I’m wholly straight and we all agreed that there’d be no play between me and the fella.
And then I felt him take hold of me down there.
And the meeting ended seconds later.
To ensure that never even
could happen again, I never again met a couple where the M was bi. And never would.
One of the very first rules I learned in this lifestyle was
“NO MEANS NO. ALWAYS. NO MEANS NO.”
