UNDERSTANDING CONSENT

It is important for us to reach a clear understanding about how our relationship will work, and what each of us can expect. This consent will provide a clear framework for our work together. 

​

Consent is crucial in intimate encounters because it ensures that all participants are actively willing and enthusiastic about engaging in any form of sexual activity. Consent is a fundamental aspect of respecting and valuing each individual's autonomy, bodily integrity, and personal boundaries. Here are some key reasons why consent is necessary:
 

1. Autonomy and agency: Consent recognizes and upholds the principle that individuals have the right to make decisions about their own bodies and sexual experiences. It empowers individuals to exercise control over their own lives and establishes a foundation of respect for personal autonomy.
    

2. Mutual agreement: Consent establishes clear communication and understanding between all parties involved. It requires that everyone involved in the encounter explicitly expresses their willingness and desire to engage in specific activities. It ensures that all participants are on the same page and have mutually agreed upon the boundaries and actions involved.
    

3. Respect for boundaries: Consent establishes and respects personal boundaries. Each person has the right to establish their comfort levels and limits, and consent ensures that these boundaries are acknowledged and honored. It promotes an environment where individuals can feel safe, secure, and in control of their own experiences.
    

4. Prevention of harm: Consent acts as a crucial safeguard against any form of sexual coercion, manipulation, or assault. It helps prevent situations where one person may exploit or take advantage of another's vulnerability or lack of willingness. Consent ensures that all participants are engaging in activities willingly, which reduces the risk of harm and trauma.
    

5. Ongoing and enthusiastic consent: Consent is not a one-time agreement but an ongoing process throughout intimate encounters. It is important to continually check in with each other, respect any changes or withdrawal of consent, and ensure that everyone involved remains comfortable and willing at all times.
    

Effective communication is key to obtaining and giving consent. All parties openly discuss their boundaries and preferences, establish clear expectations, and check in with each other throughout the encounter to ensure that everyone is comfortable and satisfied.
