Sex and consent

F.R.I.E.S.

Geared towards a younger (hetronotmative) audience, the acronym F.R.I.E.S. gained traction in recent years.

  • Freely given
    This means that one party must not use pressure or force to obtain consent, nor should they rely on assumptions or presumptions about the other party's desires or intentions.
  • Reversible
    This means that even if someone initially consents to an activity, they have the right to change their mind and withdraw their consent at any point.
  • Informed
    This means that consent must be given with full knowledge of the risks, benefits, and potential consequences of an activity.
  • Enthusiastic
    This means that consent should not be given out of obligation, fear, or pressure, but rather because the person genuinely wants to participate.
  • Specific
    This means that it's essential to communicate exactly what activities one is consenting to and what boundaries or limitations exist.
