It can make the \ntopic confusing, but you don\u2019t have to be a legal expert to understand \nhow consent plays out in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is consent? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consent is an agreement between participants to engage in sexual \nactivity. There are many ways to give consent, and some of those are \ndiscussed below. Consent doesn\u2019t have to be verbal, but verbally \nagreeing to different sexual activities can help both you and your \npartner respect each other\u2019s boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does consent work in real life?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re engaging in sexual activity, <strong>consent is about communication<\/strong>.\n And it should happen every time. Giving consent for one activity, one \ntime, does not mean giving consent for increased or recurring sexual \ncontact. For example, agreeing to kiss someone doesn\u2019t give that person \npermission to remove your clothes. Having sex with someone in the past \ndoesn\u2019t give that person permission to have sex with you again in the \nfuture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>You can change your mind at any time. <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can withdraw consent at any point if you feel uncomfortable. It\u2019s\n important to clearly communicate to your partner that you are no longer\n comfortable with this activity and wish to stop. The best way to ensure\n both parties are comfortable with any sexual activity is to talk about \nit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Positive consent can look like this:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Communicating when you change the type or degree of sexual activity with phrases like \u201cIs this OK?\u201d<\/li><li>Explicitly agreeing to certain activities, either by saying \u201cyes\u201d or another affirmative statement, like \u201cI\u2019m open to trying.\u201d<\/li><li>Using physical cues to let the other person know you\u2019re comfortable taking things to the next level<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>It does NOT look like this:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Refusing to acknowledge \u201cno\u201d<\/li><li>Assuming that wearing certain clothes, flirting, or kissing is an invitation for anything more<\/li><li>Someone being under the legal age of consent, as defined by the state<\/li><li>Someone being incapacitated because of drugs or alcohol<\/li><li>Pressuring someone into sexual activity by using fear or intimidation<\/li><li>Assuming you have permission to engage in a sexual act because you\u2019ve done it in the past<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legal Disclaimer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\"><strong>MyUnheardVoice website provides  general information that is intended, but not guaranteed, to be correct  and up-to-date.
