What is ENTHUSIASTIC CONSENT mean to you? Let us know in the comments 👉

Consent isn’t just about saying yes or no — it’s about communication, clarity, and connection. 💬

In our latest podcast, we dive into what enthusiastic consent really means — how it looks at dates, parties, and clubs, and why “ask once” and “ongoing consent” aren’t a thing!

We explore some of the frameworks that help us understand consent — from FRIES, CRISP, SSC, and RACK to the Yes, No, Maybe List — and how real consent happens through ongoing, in-the-moment communication. Plus the legal side of consent.

🎙️ Listen to Consent is S*xy: Why Enthusiastic Consent Is So Important wherever you get your podcasts. Links in bio link tree!

💬 Create a plan for check-ins during the night — so you can navigate any emotions or unexpected moments with care
💞 Debrief after your visit and use aftercare to strengthen connection
🚫 Avoid common first-timer pitfalls around expectations and consent
