Episode Bitesize Moment: "I Will Not Be Pressured Into Anything." — Meghan O'Neill on Consent and Boundaries

0:00 6:59

In this bitesize moment pulled from the Laura Dowling Experience back catalogue, Meghan O'Neill, online content creator and mother of two explains how she holds firm boundaries for herself, then how she is teaching her young children about consent, from everyday moments like a kiss or a tickle through to the bigger conversations about porn and never being with someone who is drunk.

What if the most important thing you teach your kids about sex has nothing to do with sex, and everything to do with the word no?

🔑Key Points

• Meghan will not be pressured into anything; she can walk away right up to the last moment if something does not feel right

• She wants her kids to know porn is not real, because no one ever told her that

• At home, her kids can say no to a kiss or a tickle, and that no is respected straight away

• She is direct with her son: never sleep with someone who is drunk, because they cannot consent
