Consent Frameworks

Framework & ModelConsent & BoundariesSensitive Topic

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.
