If you have someone in your life with whom you have sex with. Tell them directly that it is always ok to say no. It's ok if you want to stop halfway through. It's ok if you just aren't particularly horny today. You don't owe me sex. No is always valid.
Because even if they are usually super into it. Sooner or later there will come a time where they need to say no. And you want to be absolutely sure they feel safe and comfortable when that time comes. Don't leave it for later, make it clear from the get go no is always a safe answer.
Like literally just tell them:
"By the way it's just really important to me that you know it is always safe and ok to turn me down and say no. Please never be afraid to decline".
Explicitly verbally make it clear that is the case. And then back it up with your actions.
Without space for a no. There cannot be a yes.
