Question 1

What is consent?

Accepted Answer

Consent is asking and receiving permission for anything as long as it is safe, healthy, and wanted by all those involved. An important part of consent is making sure that all partners are on the same page when it comes to defining physical activities like “making out” or “hooking up”. It can be a good idea to define these and other physical activities before they happen to avoid confusion and misunderstandings.

Question 2

What does consent look like?

Accepted Answer

Consent is a clear and enthusiastic “yes!” every step of the way. All partners should keep giving and looking for consent. It is important to consider physical and nonverbal cues as well. If someone seems unsure, stays silent, freezes, does not respond, or says “maybe”, then they are not giving consent. It is important to note that just because a person did not say “no”, it does not mean they have given consent. If a partner seems uncomfortable, stop and talk about it.
