Is consent enough ? Yes, he’s asking for consent, and that’s very kind of him, but it’s also perfectly possible to teach women how to lift without this intrusion into their bodies, personal space, and boundaries Personally, I’ve been in many situations where men have asked, for example, “Can I shake your hand?” and I felt far too shy or intimidated to say no and went along with it. You could also just not ask and respect her personal space, and teach without touching Even my husband, who coaches me from time to time, doesn’t dare ask if he can touch me because he knows that would annoy me I honestly don’t know that many women who’d be okay with being prodded in the butt while it’s being coached but maybe that’s just me 🤷
