Enthusiastic Consent Quotes

“I, too, have my code. As long as I love you, your will must be my will. If you believe that yielding to me would be weakness, that accepting my love would destroy you, I will not touch you. You must come to me with the whole of your will, or not at all.”
― Robert Shea, All Things Are Lights

“We’ve all lived too damn long lugging around this puritanical notion that pleasure must be villainized to protect us from ourselves.⁠

Fuck that.⁠

Seriously.⁠

The only question you need to ask is this:⁠

Is everyone involved in full personal safety and enthusiastic consent?⁠

Ask it loudly and repeatedly if you need to.⁠

Yes?⁠

Then you go with your bad, brilliant, beautiful, pleasure-filled self.⁠

Our bodies are here to feel good.⁠

And what makes that happen isn’t for anyone else to decide.⁠

It doesn’t matter whether you’re outside the gender binary, into collars and restraints, love someone with the same parts, desire more than one human, or have a kinky turn on others think is weird.⁠

Monogamous, polyamorous, relationship anarchist, vanilla, kinky—whatever your flavor, it’s valid.⁠

We’ve all wasted way too much damn time in the closet.⁠

End of story.”
