Do We Have to Do Anything We're Not Comfortable With?
Understanding that consent and comfort are always the priority in the lifestyle.
Kort samengevat
In the lifestyle, you are never obligated to do anything; consent and comfort always come first, and "no" is acceptable at any stage for any reason. Many people start with low-pressure steps such as reading, talking with their partner, or attending a social event with no expectation of play.

The Short Answer: Absolutely Not
In the lifestyle community, consent and comfort are sacred. You are never obligated to do anything-ever. The moment something doesn't feel right, you can stop. No explanation needed.
What "No" Looks Like
- "No" to an advance from someone you're not interested in
- "No" to a specific activity even if you've done it before
- "No" to continuing a conversation that makes you uncomfortable
- "No" to attending an event you're not ready for
- "No" to anything at all, at any time, for any reason
Going at Your Own Pace
Many people start their lifestyle journey with small steps:
- Reading and learning (like you're doing now)
- Talking with your partner about curiosities
- Joining an online community to observe and learn
- Attending a social event with no play expectations
- Gradually exploring at a pace that feels right
Your first step does NOT need to involve anyone else. Learning is a perfectly valid first step.
