No means no. It doesn’t mean let me try to convince you that you are only saying no bc of purity culture. It means no and that should be end of discussion. If you try to convince someone into sexual acts after they said no, you’re a bad person

It’s a lot more fun when both people actually want to do it anyway. Idk why anyone would want to do it with someone that’s even gonna like it or be into it or be passionate back.

I remember saying no, and he decided to pout about it and I gave in, but I just remember laying there and not being in my body. I thought that if I would give him what he wanted, he would be happy which would make me happy, but I wasn’t.

Thank you!!! I had someone try coercing me and others into acts that we were incredibly uncomfortable with. They claimed we were “lame” “purity culture” and that it was a “suppressed homophobia”… I blocked them so fast and it turns out they indeed SAd my friends

Yeah, my last relationship was basically based upon it, almost every time we had sex it was coercion. People that do that are rapists. I would lay there and cry, disassociate, whatever, and they never blinked twice.

I can’t believe this is even still something that needs to be said, but it does. So many people see no problem in acting like children when turned down. A common excuse is that some people will intentionally play “hard to get”, meaning they expect you to continue pursuing, but that’s just another part of the same problem. People simply should not engage with that behavior, it is encouraging the idea that boundaries are meant to be pushed or fully shattered. Boundaries are boundaries.

I have noticed that some ppl like that you aren’t into it and get off on that fact. It’s really disturbing

I’m so sorry, I have also been through a similar experience and I have spent a lot of time in therapy working through it. The conclusion that I have come to is that saying no should be enough, and if you push back on someone’s no, you are not a safe person to be around. It just sucks that no is not as respected as it should be

Literally like you should just be able to say no to sex. Like I hate when they frame it as purity culture bc most of the times I say no it’s bc I can tell that having sex would cause a panic attack due to my ptsd. I just like hate how it isn’t uncommon for lgbtq+ ppl to have this experience especially with other lgbtq+ ppl
