Abstract

The word “consent” is the major wordplay. This word plays a crucial role in any encounter. Be it a Contract, agreement, or Sexual encounter, etc. Consent is the foundation of any intimate relationship, understanding and trust. It is not necessary that consent is only important for relationships between the couples but when a person be it whether a woman or man if says ‘yes’ or ‘no’ the other person should be mindful and capable enough to understand why the person has said yes or no. Generally, when a couple is in a relationship, both partners give their mutual consent without any coercion at the time of coitus, or sexual intimacy. In a way, they are putting that trust in their partners, showing that they have faith in them and the comfort that they can be intimate with each other without any fear and enjoy that too.
