Consent is a fundamental human right. It should always be freely given, fully informed, and enthusiastic.

―Amnesty International

Consent is not just about respecting someone's boundaries. It is about actively seeking and respecting their desires and preferences.

For the erotic is not a question only of what we do; it is a question of how acutely and fully we can feel in the doing. Once we know the extent to which we are capable of feeling that sense of satisfaction and completion, we can then observe which of our various life endeavors bring us closest to that fullness.

―Audre Lorde
