Before you start a session
Nothing here is a required step. It is simply what responsible use of CSent looks like.
A short checklist
- Using CSent is voluntary for both people.
- Nobody should be pressured into starting, joining or answering in a particular way.
- Your choices are yours, and the other person's are theirs.
- Choices can change at any time, including after a session has started.
- You still need to communicate with each other in the real world.
- If consent is withdrawn, stop — in the app or not.
- CSent is not a substitute for respecting someone's boundaries.
If someone pressures you to use it
Being pushed to record a yes is itself pressure, and a yes given under pressure is not consent.
You can decline to use CSent, or stop part-way through, without explaining why.
CSent shares general educational information only. It does not determine whether consent legally existed, and it is not medical or legal advice.
