Negotiation can’t be one-directional, for example a top asking to a bottom if they can be a certain practice or which are their limits. To express what we want – or don’t want – to do and to understand and respect our partner’s decisions are equally important in consent. I know it’s not that simple, but imagine that a session where we expressed our desires where we play serenely because we know the limits where we know our partner’s desires, where we give and take following everyone’s taste, could be more satisfying.
