All great sex has one thing in common: it is entirely consensual. Consent means fully participating in the sex you are having, without any pressure or coercion. Hopefully, consent is enthusiastic and passionate. If you have any doubts that your erotic partner is not fully consenting to the sex you are having, take a moment to check in or stop what you are doing!
