There are no grey areas; consent is as simple as A, B and C.

All parties about to engage in a sexual act must agree, every single time. #ConsentIs #EndRapeCulture

The parties must all understand what they are about to do; that they are about to engage in a sexual act. #ConsentIs #EndRapeCulture

Parties giving permission to engage in any sexual act must give that permission without pressure, threats and/or other forms of coercion. #ConsentIs #EndRapeCulture

Consent should always be clearly communicated and free of doubt and mystery. A "Yes". An enthusiastic, "Yes". Not a, "maybe," or, "I guess." #ConsentIs #EndRapeCulture

Consent is given before the sexual act, and during the sexual act. When it is withdrawn, it is withdrawn. #ConsentIs #EndRapeCulture

Yes, consent can be withdrawn.
You can stop or change your mind at any time, and any party/parties engaged in a sexual act with you must respect that. #ConsentIs #EndRapeCulture

Consent granted for one sexual act does not mean consent granted for another or other sexual act(s). Consent is specific. #ConsentIs #EndRapeCulture

Most importantly, you should be excited to engage in the sexual act! Consent is enthusiastic. #ConsentIs #EndRapeCulture

Engaging in sexual activity that does not have enthusiastic and affirmative consent can constitute a sexual assault offense.

If it's not consensual, don't engage.
