I always shake my head when I hear people saying that you need someone's consent to have sex with them. I think that's the most harebrained and ludicrous idea ever. You don't need someone to give you permission. It's not like they're doing you a favour by allowing you to be intimate with them. The people who go one and on about consent are so full of shit.
Imagine if you were walking in the park with someone, and one of you wants to turn one way down a path and go in a certain direction. You don't need to ask permission. It's not like either party is the boss of the other. It's not as if you would be imposing anything on the other person. It's just something that you want to do, so you can just go ahead and do it.
And when two people are having sex, it's not as if one person is imposing themselves onto the other. Neither party has a monopoly on whether or not it goes ahead. It's something that you do together, and decide together. You don't need consent, you need to be in agreement. Which is different. Each one is having sex with the other just as much as the other is having sex with them. Each one is having as much of an effect on the other, as the other is having on them. Regardless of who is doing most of the moving and who is doing most of the passive lying down.
