consent culture

A consent culture is one in which the prevailing narrative of sex is centered around mutual consent. It is a culture with an abhorrence of forcing anyone into anything, a respect for the absolute necessity of bodily autonomy, a culture that believes that a person is always the best judge of their own wants and needs.

A consent culture is also one in which mutual consent is part of social life as well. Don't want to talk to someone? You don't have to. Don't want a hug? That's okay, no hug then. Don't want to try the fish? That's fine. Don't want to be tickled or noogied? Then it's not funny to chase you down and do it anyway.

Consent culture works like this:

"May I give you a hug?"(Or outstretched arms in typical hug fashion)
"Absolutely!" ( Reciprocated arms in typical hug fashion)
*GLOMP*
---
"Would you like it if I used the paddle?"
"Absolutely!"
*SMACK*
---
"Tonight, I'd like to use the straight jacket and spreader bar on you, what do you think?"
"I'm not in the mood for that right now, maybe net week?"
"Ok, sounds good."
---
"Can I stick my throbbing cock into your every orifice?"
"No"
"I understand. Is there anything you would like instead?"
---
*Note that in every example, the person asking for consent respects the other person's wishes.
