Matthew McConaughey shares the 'very cool' advice his dad once gave him about consent during sex

• Matthew McConaughey revealed that his dad once gave him advice about the importance of consent during sex.
• "If it's all green lights, you go as far as it's comfortable," McConaughey said.

On Tuesday's episode of SiriusXM's "Let's Talk Off Camera" podcast, Matthew McConaughey told host Kelly Ripa the "very wise" advice his dad once gave him about the importance of active consent during sexual encounters.

"I remember my dad talking to me, and I shared this with my son, but he said a very, very cool thing. He goes, you're gonna come to a time when you're gonna have some intimacy with a woman," McConaughey recalled to Ripa.

According to the actor, his dad told him that if he sensed tension or hesitation from his sexual partner, he needed to "stop."

"He goes, and if you stop, sometimes after you stop, she may go, okay, well now let's go. And he goes, don't go further," McConaughey remembered of his dad's advice. "Say, hey, nuh-uh, if we get back together and it all just flows and goes further, great. But that's all for now."

Both Ripa and McConaughey agreed that McConaughey's father was "ahead of the time" with his "very wise" advice about consent and being in tune with your partner during sexual encounters.

"If both people are just flowing, if it's all green lights, you go as far as it's comfortable," McConaughey summed up. "But if you feel someone, you know, tense up, it's like, hey, we don't have to, we got time."

He and Ripa emphasized that if need be, sex "can wait" until both partners are feeling the desire to become intimate.

Elsewhere during his appearance on "Let's Talk Off Camera," McConaughey spoke about his scary experience with wife Camila Alves McConaughey on the infamous Lufthansa flight to Germany that hit severe turbulence.
