With consent, we can have positive and respectful intimate experiences where we all feel safe and free.
Everyone must be given the opportunity to freely consent; this means without pressure, manipulation, or the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Listen to each other — and not just to the words someone is saying, but also to their body language.
It is the responsibility of all parties to ensure that everyone involved is legally, consciously, and physically able to give their consent.
You can only consent to something if you have the full story. E.g. If somebody says they’ll use a condom and then they don’t, there is no consent.
Anyone can change their mind about what they consent to, at any time. Even if you’ve done it before, and even if you’re naked in bed.
When it comes to sex, you should only do things that all parties WANT to do. Silence = No Mumbles = No If it ain’t a HELL YEAH, it’s a no, or ask for clarification.
Saying yes to one thing (like going to the bedroom to make out) does NOT mean yes to other things (like having sex, or participating in impact play).
Don’t be a dick. Treat your intimate partners with respect, and treat your Medusa pieces with respect.
No one could say it better than Quinn from Unearthed Pleasures. Please go and read up on the basics of impact play over on her site. Quinn also has a great course, with an epic range of resources to help you on your kink journey.
