Thank you for writing. Seriously, thank you so much for engaging me in conversation, as opposed to making assumptions and simply trash-talking. And no, I did not understand at first—possibly a generational thing, since I’m old—because I took that first line at face value. But I do now, because the person I was having the conversation with explained it to me.

What you’re seeing is one part of a larger conversation that I probably should have deleted once I finally thought it over and got it. My initial reaction was “No, don’t say that! Make consent the sexiest thing in the world,” because initially the whole “consent is sexy” thing was to counteract the idea that stopping for consent had to be a mood-killer, which is an idea that my generation grew up with. Lack of a firm “no” was considered a “yes,” and that was so fucked up. So I was like, no, I don’t care WHY they’re stopping for consent, as long as they’re actually ASKING for consent instead of assuming. If promoting it as sexy gets more people being conscientious about it, well… at least they’re actually doing it, you know?

And I’ve had far too many friends who were never asked for consent because the people they were with thought it would kill the mood. And who went ahead and did it anyway because they weren’t asked, and didn’t feel like they could say no. And maybe if the guys they were with thought asking for and recieving consent was sexy, my friends would not be blaming themselves for what others did to them.

So the misinterpretation goes both ways, because the conversation started with me asking why it shouldn’t be sexy that someone you want to have sex with wants to have sex with you, too? That was literally the question that started the conversation. I was like, if I say I want to have sex, and you’re like, “Hells yeah, me too,” how is that not sexy? And Vondell patiently took time to explain to an old man what they actually meant. Because until I actually thought about it later, I took that first line at face value. And although I now understand what they meant, a lot of people my age won’t. So I was asking for clarity of language.
