FRIES Consent Model: Five Principles of Valid Sexual Consent
The FRIES consent model defines consent as Freely Given, Reversible, Informed, Enthusiastic, and Specific.
Consent Check-In: Confirming Comfort and Ongoing Sexual Agreement
A consent check-in is a brief confirmation used during intimacy to make sure everyone remains comfortable, willing, and interested in continuing.
Affirmative: Meaning, Affirmative Consent, and Clear Agreement
Affirmative means expressing agreement or confirmation and is central to affirmative consent, which requires clear, voluntary, and ongoing willingness.
