Did you know? Full consent should be asked and communicated before performing any sexual acts. Sexual consent is an agreement to participate in a sexual activity. Before being sexual with someone, you need to know if they want to be sexual with you too. It’s also important to be honest with your partner about what you want and don’t want.

Caution: Without consent, sexual intercourse (including all other sexual other acts) is sexual assault or rape. Consenting and asking for consent are all about setting your personal boundaries and respecting those of your partner — and checking in if things aren’t clear. Both people must agree to sex — every single time — for it to be consensual.
