Affirmative Consent

Affirmative consent is the clear and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity. It means that all parties involved must communicate and give explicit permission, rather than assuming consent based on silence or previous interactions. Consent should be informed, enthusiastic, and can be revoked at any time. This concept emphasizes mutual respect and communication, ensuring that everyone involved feels comfortable and willing to participate. It seeks to prevent misunderstandings and promote healthy, consensual relationships.
