Consent is mandatory. Always.

Our consent model is the READY model, which works with gauging readiness and consent. READY is a Revocable, Engaged, Aware, Detailed Yes.

• R – Revocable
  • Can I revoke my consent? Am I okay with someone else revoking their consent?
  • If there is not safety to change your mind, you can not give consent.
• E – Engaged
  • Are all parties engaged in the activity or the negotiations of the activities?
  • Hesitation, doubt, and coercion are not consent.
• A – Aware
  • Are we all aware? Is everyone sober? Is everyone awake and alert? Are we aware of our own risk-profiles?
  • Sleeping and any substance use eliminate your ability to give consent.
• D – Detailed
  • Did we come to an agreement through negotiations, on the specific details? Were risk-profiles discussed?
  • You have to know the details of what you are consenting to in order to give consent.
• Y – Yes
  • Do we each want to say yes? Is there safety to say no?
  • Anything other than a yes, is an automatic no. If there isn't safety to say no, you cannot consent.

**If the answer to any of the above questions is no, you can not give or get consent.

If there is not safety in saying "no", consent cannot be given.
