It’s time to widen your definition of consent.
When you hear the term “consent,” the first thing that comes to your mind is probably in the realm of sex, and it’s probably not a positive situation. So many of our conversations about this focus on consent as the line between right and wrong, between sex and assault — and it is a fundamental issue, but there’s a secondary aspect that we need to explore.
And there’s so much to explore when you start practicing consent and communication in all of your relationships but especially in your sexual relationships. So we asked four sex experts how to practice these things in our everyday lives and how to use these skills to shamelessly explore our kinks and desires that honestly can’t be explored without explicit consent and communication.
So if you’ve been thinking about consent as a one-time “yes” or “no,” you’re on par with almost everyone else (since only 30% of adults were taught about consent in their sex education). But if you’d like to change that (and your sex life), here’s the place to start.
