Consent

If you only want to listen to one episode of this podcast, this is the one for you!

Consent is not a vibe. It’s not silence. It’s not endurance. In this essential bonus episode of The Kink Compass, Chris breaks consent all the way down. Psychologically, ethically, and legally. We explore what real consent is, what it is not, when it can be withdrawn, what must happen when it is, and what the law actually says in Norway, the USA, Canada, and Australia. This is a trauma-informed, no-myths, no-loopholes conversation about power, agency, regret, violation, nervous systems, and responsibility. Not a comfortable episode but a necessary one.

If today’s episode brings up difficult feelings and you need support, you can contact local sexual assault or crisis services in your country. If you’re in the U.S., you can reach RAINN at 800-656-4673. In Canada, you can contact Talk Suicide Canada at 1-833-456-4566, and they can also direct you to sexual violence support in your province. In Norway, DIXI at 22 44 40 50. In the UK, Rape Crisis at 0808 802 9999. In Australia, 1800RESPECT at 1800 737 732. For other countries, international crisis center directories are available at iasp.info or through the RAINN website. If you’re in immediate danger, please contact your local emergency number. I will also add this information in the episode’s blurb so you can find it on the podcast app you’re using.
