Take The Pressure For Sex Quiz
Question 1 of 6

You’re in bed with someone, having fun, but when you try to take things to the next level they say, ‘Hmm, I don’t think I want to.’ Do you:

Slow down for a while then try again twenty minutes later.

Stop trying to take things to the next level and check they’re okay.

Point out they’ve liked everything so far and suggest they try to relax.

Tell them they’re being a tease with the whole yes/no thing.

Sexual pressure is when someone tries to push you into sex or something sexual, even if you're not ready.

This can include verbal pressure, physical actions, emotional manipulation, or even digital pressure like sexting or persistent messaging.

Sexual pressure isn’t always clear-cut.

At times, it can be subtle and doesn’t always look like a clear 'no means no' situation.

Sometimes, it might be claimed to be 'joking' or playful teasing, but if it makes you feel pressured, it’s still not consent.

Knowing the line and staying on the right side of it means you care about consent, boundaries, and doing the right thing in your relationships. 

Concerned that someone is using pics of you without your permission, or wanting to get your act together about how to handle pics?
