This week on the Couch, I look at the importance of sexual consent.  I examine why healthy communication is vital even in chance sexual encounters (one night stands).  I look at ways we can communicate when we need to slow down, why it's okay to take step back, and why we have to stop teaching boys that sex is about conquest.   I also examine verbal and nonverbal cues that let you know your partner is ready to do the horizontal tango.
