FAQ

Is silence or lack of resistance the same as consent?

No. Silence, passivity, or simply not saying ‘no’ does not equal consent. Affirmative consent requires a clear agreement—verbal or unmistakable nonverbal cues—that all parties want to proceed.

Can consent be withdrawn once given?

Yes. Consent can be changed or revoked at any time. If someone says ‘stop,’ ‘wait,’ or otherwise indicates they’re no longer comfortable, their wishes must be respected immediately.

What about nonverbal cues—are they enough?

Nonverbal cues can communicate consent, but they must be clear and unambiguous. When in doubt, asking a simple verbal question like ‘Are you sure?’ or ‘Do you want to keep going?’ helps ensure both people are comfortable.

How should affirmative consent be handled in romance stories?

Show characters communicating, checking in, and responding respectfully. Avoid romanticizing pressure or coercion. Including consent makes scenes more emotionally authentic and signals care for character agency and wellbeing.
