Class Description
Consent is more complicated than tea, especially when we get kinky. Altered mental states, neurodiversity, trauma, and difficult childhood experiences can make it all a bit muddy. This presentation aims to cover common struggles and suggest some solutions for managing consent in difficult situations.
