What's a statistically proven fact that nobody wants to hear?

Normalizing it? What? In my example, the sleepy partner could've finally gotten serious and said

"baby, I'm serious now, no. I want to sleep. Tomorrow okay"

I think if that occurred, then the horny partner should leave it alone. What I'm saying is, remove from your mind all the PSAs and bullshit you've seen on TV about relationships. No does not mean no. Definitely no means no. Sometimes no (not the word itself. I mean the expression of doubt or hesitancy) means "convince me otherwise". But in a relationship, the most important thing is mutual trust. So I'm not talking about people who just met. I'm talking about people who love, trust and respect each other and who will never hurt each other. But simply asking for sex when the other partner is iffy about it is not normalizing rape or some psychotic shit like that. In my example, I tried to show that two people who do know each other intimately can debate things and give reasons, sides and angles and if one partner finally concedes, it's not coercion, it's fucking conversation. That's how humans talk. If it were simply:

"baby, want to do it?"

"no"

"ok"

Shit, that sounds like two very boring people.
