Lovely Relationship Tips:

1. Consent is sexy – make sure you and your partner are on the same page in and out of the bedroom. Check in with your partner and respect their boundaries. If you aren’t sure you have permission, you don’t have consent.
2. Communicate your needs – assert yourself and directly communicate your feelings and needs with friends, family, and loved ones.
3. Safe sex saves lives – before engaging in sexual activities, get tested. Use protection to avoid the spread of STIs. You can find condoms various places around campus, including the Decompression Space.
4. Love your friends – check in on your friends, ask them how they are doing, show them your gratitude. Even small gestures can go a long way!
5. Love yourself – take time to care for yourself. You can’t pour from and empty cup, so be sure to fill yours with activities that fulfill you.
