Consent Capacity: Understanding the Ability to Give Valid Consent

Consent capacity is the ability to understand, evaluate, and voluntarily decide whether to agree to a particular sexual or intimate activity.

A consenting adult is an adult who knowingly and voluntarily agrees to a specific activity and has the capacity and freedom to make that choice.

Capacity means the ability to understand, make, and communicate a decision and is essential for valid sexual consent.

Consensual means freely agreed to by everyone involved and requires voluntary, informed, specific, continuing, and reversible consent.
