Sometimes it’s hard to know what to say or do when a boy or man is trying to pressure you into sexual activity that you don’t want.

You have the right to set limits. Before you begin any sexual activity you can say something like, “I really like you and want to kiss but I don’t want to go any further than that.”

Or you can say, “No,” firmly and clearly, to anything you’re not comfortable with.

Or you can say:
“I’m not comfortable doing this and want to stop here.”
“I don’t want to do this.”
“It feels like you are putting pressure on me to do something I don’t want to do.”
“If you continue doing this against my wishes it is sexual assault.”

Listen to your gut instincts and feel confident about them, even if all you can say about them is:
“No because I don’t feel good but I can’t say exactly how.”
“No because I don’t know what I want.”
“No because I feel confused.”
