Thank you.

So, um, what I mean in terms of how I measured it is that that's what turns an eight on is, is, is this explicit approach, but because We actually tend to treat others the way we wanna be treated.
30:20
That is also how they tend to come on to their partner or to others.
30:24
So that's the picture of the eight.
30:26
And then the picture of the nine, and I'll have Lindsay talk about nines too, because she's a nine herself, but nines are almost the opposite.
30:33
So nines are by far the lowest sexual assertiveness in terms of feeling comfortable, For example, do you feel comfortable telling your partner what you like? Do you feel comfortable telling your partner to stop something that you do not like? Do you feel comfortable asking for more of what you do like? Nines are saying no to all of that.
30:54
They really don't feel comfortable with this type of explicit communication about sex.
