The room was as dark
as the night was. It reached about 100 degrees Fahrenheit but neither he nor
she cared about how hot it was. Sweat dripping from their bodies, but none of
them cared about how nasty the sweat was or how bad it smelled. Her parents
have chosen to go out that night, and since she was their only child, now 16,
she had no need of a babysitter. They have been dating for 2 months and this
was going to be the exception of all the nights they wanted to strip each
other’s clothes off and experience each other’s bodies, at least that’s what he
had in mind. There have been so many instances in which he so desperately
wanted to have sex with her. But why hasn’t he?
Every time he tried,
she would smile, look at him and tell him she wasn’t prepared yet. She has come
from a very traditional family and always held the value of marriage close to
her heart. Nevertheless, she is human, and feels the temptations that change
lives forever. She has never thought of having sex with him although she liked
him for how much of a bad boy he looked like, how well-known he was around at
the high school she attends and the straight-out-of-a-magazine car he drives.
She had a future, and she knew it, what she didn’t know was how a 21 years-old
man who hangs around the high school he graduated from, with the only purpose
of taking young girls home to take their virginity away. He loved nothing more
but his looks and has been experienced sexually since he was 12.She had fallen for
him and it was getting harder and harder to keep his hands away from her body.
Although she was
bottles of alcohol away from consciousness, he still noticed the confused,
scared facial expressions he held at that moment. He didn’t care, nor asked.
They have both been kissing for hours and although she felt she wanted him, her
values were stronger than her lustful desires. Even after drinking more than
enough to get an average drinker drunk. She was afraid she has given him the
wrong impression but it has gotten too late. He held her with a strong grip
close to his body and initiated the process she wish he never started. She felt
scared and helpless and knew that at this point she could not do much but wait.
How could she bare embarrassing herself like that in front of him? Although she
had told him “no” so many times before, she felt guilty inside because she felt
she had never considered his wants. But still, she feels pain. She desperately
needed support at that moment. She didn’t feel comfortable, millions of
thoughts running through her mind and anxiety building
inside her chest.
After he was done, he
got up, put his clothes on and left the room without saying a word.
She cried. She
couldn’t tell what hurt more, the physical pain, or the emotional and
psychological disturbance she was going through.
She never saw him
again.
Consent is nothing
more than clear communication between two individuals in order to understand
unspoken intentions. Consent plays a major role in sex because it allows both
parties to have a clear understanding of each other’s perspective before
initiating any sexual activity.
In any relationship
you have, make sure you have clear communication with your partner before
diving into sex.
Ask. Never assume.
