If that is not the pace you want, do not go along with it. voice-verified

And I'm not saying you force them into it. voice-verified

You can walk away. voice-verified

You can say that isn't actually what I want from this and be very clear from it and make your actions very clear. voice-verified

So many of us change our pace based on what the other person is doing. voice-verified

It is a massive people pleasing tactic. voice-verified

and it is not going to end up pleasing anyone, you or them. voice-verified

It is confusing to everyone involved. voice-verified

All of this in terms of pace isn't just about sex, though I think that's often like when you're talking about pace within a relationship, that's often where people's minds go. voice-verified

It's about access to your time, to your energy, to your emotional availability. voice-verified

Answering every message the second it comes in or rearranging your plans or always being free, always being warm and available. voice-verified

These are ways of giving someone a level of access that they haven't yet earned. voice-verified

Your time is actually the most finite thing you have and how quickly you hand it over tells someone a lot about how you value yourself. voice-verified

So slowing down is about protecting all of that, not just your sex life. voice-verified

It's about protecting your energy and protecting what you actually want to give people before they've proven to you that they would even go close to giving you the equivalent. voice-verified

To take a point from Ellen's original carousel, she said he is usually offloading the guilt of knowing he is wasting your time and managing your expectations when they are doing this type of thing. voice-verified

I think particularly when you're getting on with someone really well, you're like, yeah, well, I've not been ready for a relationship before. voice-verified

And then I've met someone where we have this attraction or connection. voice-verified
