    It'd probably be best if you use different images but otherwise i think it should be accessible knowledge too all people as long as it's not for comercial purposes

    if you go by this: "only Yes means yes", you can avoid most situations where you cross boundaries. You can avoid situations of rape. If you want to move forward on a mixed message and unclear message, a maybe or mkay, you are possibly creating a situation where you force yourself on another person. Cultural conditioning have taught women to not say no. It is unlikely that some one is too shy to say yes to anything. Culture and education makes it more likely that people are too shy to say no. Also let go of the idea of persuasion, making them want it, uninvited seduction, conquering etc etc..... if you cannot get a yes, just don't. I know most guys are afraid that they will miss out on a great opportunity to have sex, but the change is higher that you have missed out on rape, when you always wait for a yes. Create a situation where people are not shy anymore. It is strange that you think that a person to shy to say yes, willnot be too shy to have sex.

    If someone isn't comfortable enough to say yes, they're not comfortable enough to have sex. Honestly, I get it. I tend to crush on shy people. If I even as much as ask for a hug and the response is "positive" but less than enthousiastic - such as an "ok" - then I usually reply with something like: It's okay if you'd rather not. I care about you being safe and comfortable, everything else is secondary. And then I change the subject to keep things from seeming uncomfortable. Whether that's another suggestion (do you wanna watch a movie?) or an anecdote (oh I saw this really cool bird yesterday by the way, I made a picture, let me show you) or a subject at all relevant to the situation (I've been thinking I should move this couch a bit, I feel like it takes up so much space that my room seems smaller than it really is). Even shy people, if they really do want the hug/kiss/sex/whatever, are very likely to correct you if relevant in such a situation. When I act as described above, sometimes the shy person will just be quiet for a while or participate in the conversation and later go, "You know I actually really did want that, I just didn't want to come off weird." or return the question later. I don't know then if they changed their mind or were too shy to say what they really felt, but that's okay. The only important thing is everyone remains safe and comfortable. Also, if you ask someone for sex and they shrug their shoulders ofr flatly say "okay", surely you can tell the difference between that reaction and a loud "okay!" with a big smile and them getting closer to you.
