Consent is informed, uncoerced, enthusiastic permission for something to happen. Consent can be withdrawn, by any party, at any time.
When an activity takes place with the consent of all participants, the activity is said to be consensual.
According to the NCSF, "Consent is... [sic] an informed, voluntary agreement by two or more people to engage in a particular BDSM activity or to enter into a BDSM, D/s or M/s relationship".[1] However, the importance of consent goes beyond BDSM and relationships that incorporate BDSM.
