John Brownstone joins Kayla Lords for episode 30 and this week’s topic is a big one: consent. Join them in a long and winding conversation about what consent means and look like in a D/s relationship.

In this episode:

* Special shout-out to Tumblr follower, Ruth Kay, for inspiring the episode.

* Kayla says one word that is a favorite of some listeners.

* John Brownstone discusses consent when a submissive is drunk.

* Consent is more than yes or no.

* Informed consent means understanding what is will happen, communicating what won’t happen, and understanding how toys or implements will feel before they are used.

* What does implied consent mean?

* In a 24/7 power exchange relationship, Dominants may have permission to take what they want, but it doesn’t mean they always should.

* Dominants have a responsibility to their submissives well-being and health – mental, emotional, and physical.

* Submissives have a responsibility to communicate how they feel, if they’re upset or sick, and anything else that may affect a Dominant’s decision.

* Consent requires a certain amount of trust.

* Communication and consent go hand-in-hand.

* Dominants are able to withdraw their consent by ending a scene or refusing to engage in certain activities.

* Basically, there’s much more to consent than yes or no.
