In the CSPC New Member Orientation (and elsewhere), we talk about consent in terms of Yes and No, with Maybe also falling in the No camp. Your personal Yes and No are your boundaries in a given situation. Those boundaries keep you aligned with your own authentic desire and help you build relationships on a basis of clarity and consent. 
Sadly, knowing and communicating our boundaries have gotten a bad rap as being “mean” or “rigid,” when that is actually the key to true intimacy with ourselves and others. Check out what Intimacy Coach Veronica Puryear has to say about the beauties of flexibility and boundaries. Find her online at https://indelicatecoaching.com or @Indelicate_Coaching on IG.
