Obtaining Consent
Always ask first: Never. Presume. Consent. Being aware of nonverbal signals- pushing away, turning away, protective body language, "yes" or "no" signals For verbal people: Frequently "checking in": Is this okay? Is it okay if I do X? Would you mind if I did Y? Consent can be revoked at any point Safety words or signals can help
Safety Words/Gestures
Pick one that's recognizable and easy to remember "Red Light"/"Green Light" "Whoa There" Lightly slap your partner someplace you can reach easily Drop an object that will clatter loudly, like a brass cymbal or a bag of marbles Keep a flag or hanky in your hand to wave, like a "truce" flag
