What is Consent?

Consensual sexual activity happens when each partner willingly chooses to participate in previously approved sexual activities. Open communication about expectations and desires is a critical factor in obtaining consent.

Consent is:

  • Verbal and Clear. Your sexual partner must be given every opportunity to communicate his/her wishes. Discuss needs, expectations, and desires before and during any situation. Anything other than an enthusiastic yes means no, always ask first.
  • Sober and unimpaired. Consent can only be given by a person who has control of his or her mental capacities, is not drunk or high, and is legally in position to give consent.
  • Consistent. Even if someone has given consent to be sexually involved with another, that person has the right to withdraw consent at ANY time. Check in with your partner regularly to see if their situation has changed.
  • Unforced and non-threatened. Use of force, intimidation, or coercion is denial of a person's right to freely give his/her consent. Share the power and control of the situation by communicating openly about your expectations and desires in the moment.

What Does "Sex Positive" Mean?

What does "sex positive" mean?

The term “sex positive” can be interpreted in different ways. For most, it involves having positive attitudes about sex and feeling comfortable with one’s own sexual identity and with the sexual behaviors of others.

• They are open to learning more about sex and sexual activity. They try to understand their bodies, their partners’ bodies, and all of the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects involved with intimacy. 

• They understand the importance of safe sex for both themselves and their partners. Safe sex can include discussing sexual histories, using condoms, and being tested for sexually-transmitted infections. It can also include emotional and psychological safety, such as supporting a partner with a sexual dysfunction or one with a history of sexual abuse.

• They consider sex to be a healthy part of life that should be enjoyed. For sex positive people, sex can be discussed without shame or awkwardness. It is not a taboo subject.

• They accept others’ sexual practices, as long as the participants consent and feel safe, without moral judgment. This means accepting sexual behaviors that might be different from their own, such as having many partners, engaging in threesomes, or swapping marital partners. This also means accepting others’ sexual orientations and lifestyles without judgment.

Overall, the concept of being sex positive involves understanding your own sexuality and what it means for you and your relationships.
