Consent Frameworks
Structured models for understanding and communicating consent, boundaries, and mutual agreement before and during intimacy.
What This Really Means
Consent frameworks emphasize that consent is informed, freely given, specific, and reversible, and that it should be checked as context changes.
They help couples build shared language for pacing, boundaries, and aftercare.
Because norms vary across countries and communities, good frameworks also encourage cultural humility while keeping the core principle-no pressure and clear agreement-non-negotiable.
Examples
Using a simple "green/yellow/red" check-in during intimacy
Agreeing on a safe word and aftercare plan for exploration
Clarifying what "not tonight" means and how to reconnect without guilt.
Common Misunderstandings
Tap each myth to reveal the reality
Consent Frameworks should never override consent or comfort, and safety stays the priority.
Consent and comfort come first, and Consent Frameworks only makes sense when those are respected.
Consent matters more than any goal or label, and Consent Frameworks is secondary to that.
