Token resistance

Token resistance is a term, commonly referred to in the seduction community, denoting a rejection of advances, almost always of the sexual kind, with intention of actually engaging in the activity that was initially rejected.^[1]

Scientific validity

One study has refuted the stereotype that most women engage in token resistance to sex, with results indicating that perhaps only a very small fraction of women and men have ever engaged in token resistance based on the definition stated within the study.^[2]

Token Resistance is reported by women and men. There's results for men and women when they say "no" to something in a sexual context, the majority of times, it means no.^[2]
