What can BDSM teach us about affirmative consent? | Candace Liger | TEDxGreensboro

[@melissahoyden7415]

"At bare minimum, consent is considerate" I wish everyone would really hear these words. This is the best video on consent since (if not better than) the consent is like tea video. Begins with slam poetry to draw you in. If you're confused, think of the beginning like song lyrics. Consent is so powerful and beautiful. Well spoken, bravely spoken.

I enjoyed every moment of listening to this expression of what it means to incorporate consent as a way of life. Finding your power to have a conversation about how you “say yes” and describing what feels like pleasure to you can change your level of intimacy. Teaching consent consciousness could really change how people pursue pleasure.

This is fantastic! Spoken so artfully, it's an absolutely joy to listen to and the content is powerful and so immediately useful for the way we can all understand ourselves better. Thank you, Candace, for doing this talk!

[@raodat8462]

Very well delivered!

[@effmarcs4906]

very poetic! I love it

[@dncarac]

I claim consent is not a concept in BDSM any more. I see videos of BDSM in public where I'm sure they did not get informed consent from all the people out in public. Yet there's not a single complaint about consent

This is confusing. Maybe I have a small brain, but I like my simple brain.

jajajajaja

It also becomes illegal and abuse whenever you and the girl get into fight… Don’t be fooled brother Unless you type up BDSM agreement order and have it signed by judge… don’t be fooled brother.

@@probablyabouttoargue3264 In 2021, we should all have a camera in our bedroom to film verbal consent lol.

@@probablyabouttoargue3264 Found the sexist freaks. If consent is confusing to you, you should never be allowed to touch another human being, period.

😞 This was so confusing

[@indulgentenhydra5997]

It really wasn't, you just seem to lack critical thinking skills and empathy for other people.

[@Premium_taste]

​@@indulgentenhydra5997In fact, bdsm acts do not reflect what is called empathy 

[@nikoguarro]

​@Muslimpreneur911 thank you for your informed argument 🙄
