The Wheel of Consent®

Betty Martin has been and continues to be a major influence on my work.

As well as The School of Consent, Betty also has a YouTube channel. One of her pivotal messages for me is summed up in the video Why the choosing is more important than the doing.

There is a great video with Harry Faddis who originated The 3 Minute Game, the second video on this page https://bettymartin.org/how-to-play-the-3-minute-game/

Recommended reading & viewing

• Jam (6 minutes), a stop-motion animation by Toronto sex educator Karen B. K. Chan, proposes an alternate framework for sexual connection where partners are collaborators in unscripted journeys; where self-practice, experience and pleasure are valued; and where consent is ongoing and reciprocal, just as in a musical jam session.
