THE PRIMARY STEPS TO SEX:
CONSENT, UNDERSTANDING, AND RESPECT

If you don't understand that BOTH men and women can commit sexual abuse, you really are missing the concept of respect!
For instance: A survey at Colorado State University revealed that many men regret the sex they've experienced in college years - often citing the coercion of their partner to be excessive, challenging, or without regard to their emotions.
EVERYONE (especially couples!) should read about concepts of sexual abuse so that we can cultivate better lovers and a safer world.

"Then you should say what you mean," the March Hare went on.
"I do, " Alice hastily replied; "at least I mean what I say, that's the
same thing, you know."
"Not the same thing a bit!" said the Hatter. "Why, you might just as
well say that "I see what I eat" is the same thing as "I eat what I
see!"
