Disposing of the other is not a right. The “conjugal duty” does not exist. No marital status, context, clothing, nor any promise, tradition, resignation to blackmail… does not constitute consent.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Consent includes not only the persons who commit an act, but also the individuals who are ABOVE. It is imperative to ensure that what is happening, and can happen, does not disturb anyone.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Consent is Ephemeral. Shyness, embarrassment, conditioning… can keep the partner(s) from saying that the desire has passed. It is therefore important to reiterate the request at each new practice and regularly during the act, for example with a “Are you okay? Obtaining consent once does not mean that it will be valid again.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The principles stated may vary depending on the relationship. It is important that the people involved clearly discuss them in order to define the framework for their consent, being aware of the risks involved.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
