Being assertive means to be 'forcefully confident'. We all know that you need to be assertive to do well in business, but why do you need to be assertive when it comes to sex?

To Initiate The Kind Of Sex That You Want, When You Want It

In most relationships, the man is the one with the higher libido. And because of this, he is usually the one who initiates sex. If he is always the one who initiates sex, he might start to feel unwanted and you might get irritated with his demands. If, however, you can be 'forcefully confident' enough to initiate the kind of sex you fantasise about, at the times that you either feel the spontaneous desire or when it is convenient for you, it changes the whole picture. Men find this very arousing and women find it very satisfying, because it is something they do for themselves, not only for him (with 'forceful' I don't mean non-consensual).

To Refuse The Kind Of Sex You Don't Want

You need to let your partner know what is and what isn't acceptable for you when it comes to sex. It's your right to allow and to refuse certain things. You have to have the confidence to discuss this with your partner openly.

Make Wise Decisions About Protection Against Pregnancy And Infections

You have to have 100% confidence in the methods you are using to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections and in your ability to negotiate this with your partner. You should also have the confidence to enforce your rights to decide when you want to have baby and how many children you want.

Unfortunately, in many cultures, women are not afforded the privilege to be sexually assertive. May we see the day when all women across the globe have equal rights.
