Understanding consent is as easy as FRIES.

Consent is:

• Freely given. Doing something sexual with someone is a decision that should be made without pressure, force, manipulation, or while drunk or high.
  
• Reversible. Anyone can change their mind about what they want to do, at any time. Even if you’ve done it before or are in the middle of having sex.
  
• Informed. Be honest. For example, if someone says they’ll use a condom and then they don’t, that’s not consent.
  
• Enthusiastic.  If someone isn’t excited, or really into it, that’s not consent.
  
• Specific. Saying yes to one thing (like going to the bedroom to make out) doesn’t mean they’ve said yes to others (like oral sex).
  

FRIES. Our Planned Parenthood educators are straight-up geniuses.
