2.FRIES is a consent framework developed by Planned Parenthood that is widely used in kink and sex-positive communities. Each letter stands for a principle: Freely given (consent is not coerced), Reversible (consent can be withdrawn at any time), Informed (all parties understand what they're consenting to), Enthusiastic (consent is active, not passive), and Specific (consenting to one act doesn't imply consent to others). FRIES provides a clear, memorable framework for thinking about consent in any context.
