Ultimately, the first and best lesson park cruisers can teach us about consent is about receiving feedback. Cruising teaches us a way of looking for the cues of sexual attraction and mutual interest. What an amazing skill, and in most people what an underdeveloped one. Receptiveness to this information can unlock something not always prioritized in the traditional model of the sexual chase. In changing the focus from "Can I?" to "Is this something you want?" I think people naturally tend to focus on the nos they may receive. We should be more focused on yesses, but cruising also offers a helpful corollary. It teaches us not to be so afraid of no.
