FAQ
How is microconsent different from general consent?
General consent might be a broad agreement (“I’m okay with romantic scenes”), whereas microconsent happens at each step of a scene (asking before a kiss or a more intimate action). It’s about ongoing, action-specific permission rather than one-time approval.
Won’t microconsent interrupt the flow of a story?
Is microconsent necessary for all romance content?
Microconsent is especially important for scenes that involve physical intimacy, power differences, or potentially triggering content. For lighter, non-physical moments it may be less critical, but integrating clear boundary checks helps make content safer and more inclusive.
