Deep and Luxa are joined by Zach Budd, consent and polyamory educator and Golf Coast advocate for the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom https://ncsfreedom.org/, to discuss a system Zach’s developed to help people understand consent, called The 5 Pillars of Consent, as well as discussing the problems with the “no means no” model. Zach also shares about his personal journey into the work which he is now doing and why understanding consent is in everyone’s best interest.
