Consent is an agreement to do something. Consent is imperative in life and if it is not present in a sexual situation then it is sexual assault.

What Consent Is:

1. Informed: Every one must know what they are getting into.
2. Free: No one can be under any duress or manipulation.
3. Enthusiastic: Everyone must want to be doing it.
4. Ongoing: Consent can be revoked at any point.

Situations where consent is not possible :

1. Children, can not consent to sexual things ever.
2. Consent in an abusive relationship is not possible
3. Consent to sexual acts cannot happen between family members 

What Consent is Not:

1. The lack of a no. If there is not a yes, then it is not consent
2. Dressing or acting in a sexual manner
3. If anyone is too afraid or uncomfortable to say no then it is not consent
