By now, everyone should know that it’s not okay to touch someone’s body without consent, a decision-making process that involves all parties involved. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “consent” as “to give assent or approval.”
In the interest of happy, healthy relationships and great sex Satisfyer asks, 'How Well Do You Know Consent?' Because they know, there is nothing hotter than hearing "Yes, yes, YES!"

In simple terms, consent is clear, voluntary, and enthusiastic. It must be informed, meaning that someone who is being asked for their consent understands everything they’re being asked to consent to. Consent is an agreement to be sexual with someone; sex without consent isn’t sexy – it is assault.
If you have questions about what is and isn’t consent, check out this British public service video comparing sex to offering someone a cup of tea. It is everything.
To test your knowledge on how well you really know what consent is and isn't, we teamed up with Satisfyer to create the following quiz. There's nothing sexier than an enthusiastic yes!
