What does R.A.C.K+F.R.I.E.S mean in your bio?
Sorry for the delayed answer, I just saw this !
R.A.C.K. stands for Risk Aware Consensual Kink - I prefer this over S.S.C. (safe sane & consensual) because it acknowledges that some kinks are unsafe to practice. It prioritizes all participants being educated on and fully aware of the risks involved, which enables them to mitigate that risk and give informed consent. + The âsaneâ part of S.S.C. is well-intentioned but sanity is subjective and some view this as ableist and robbing mentally ill people of their sexual autonomy.
F.R.I.E.S. is an acronym created by Planned Parenthood regarding proper consent. It stands for Freely given, Reversible, Informed, Enthusiastic, and Specificâ i.e. itâs only truly consensual if
you consent without coercion or manipulation
you can change your mind and revoke consent at any time
you are aware of what youâre consenting to (and potential risks)
you actually want to consent to it
consenting to one thing isnât consenting to anything (p1 consenting to vaginal sex doesnât mean p2 may penetrate them anally)
I might be phrasing things a little basically but this is how I understand them ^_^ Both acronyms are fairly widely used so there are more detailed explanations available!
