About this source
The practical lesson is to treat consent as shared, changing information. A script helps only when people can pause, disagree, and change their minds without punishment. The key boundary is that it cannot establish diagnosis, individual prediction, universal claims, or advice beyond its stated scope..
Why it matters: This source demonstrates that consent depends on communication, context, and power—not simply the absence of a no. It gives readers a practical reason to check in before, during, and after intimacy.
