Consent Learning Tool
Five scenarios, one at a time, pick the most consent-respecting response.
Step 1 of 5
Your partner seems unsure and goes quiet. What does consent look like?
They said yes earlier but now want to stop.
One of you has been drinking heavily.
Consent for one thing means…
You're not sure whether they're into it.
Consent can be tricky to read, and this is a great moment to learn. Consent must be freely given, reversible, informed, enthusiastic and specific, silence, pressure, or someone who's drunk is never a yes. When unsure, pause and ask. Checking in shows respect and care, never awkwardness.
You've got the core idea, and a few points are worth firming up. Remember consent is reversible (it can be withdrawn anytime), specific (one yes isn't a yes to everything), and only valid when someone can freely and clearly give it. Asking out loud is always okay.
Excellent, you clearly understand consent. It's freely given, reversible, informed, enthusiastic and specific, and checking in is a sign of respect, not awkwardness. Silence, pressure or intoxication never count as a yes. Carrying this into every relationship keeps intimacy safe and caring for everyone.
Educational only, a learning tool to build understanding of consent.
