You don't have to do anything that you don't want to do. If you're being pressured to do something you're not comfortable with, that's called coercion, even if it's your significant other. Sexual consent means that two people are actively willing to engage in a particular sexual behavior and express their consent by saying "Yes! That is ok with me." But just because someone consents to engage in one kind of behavior, doesn't mean they have agreed to engaged in another. You have the right to change your mind about what you want or not want to do at any time!
