Learning Good Consentoffers powerful, complicated information (instead of shallow questions and uncomplicated answers). This book speaks to those who are unlearning silence as a safety/communication strategy. - Jen Cross,make/shift

What this book does is to stress consent: not no means no, or even yes means yes, but Do you want me to stay here with you? Are you here? I thought I wanted this, but I m not sure now. Do you think we should take this farther? I m moved that this book is here. It matters. -Alison Piepmeier, author ofGirl Zines: Making Media, Doing Feminism

Whether or not you think you need it, whether or not you re a survivor, or dating a survivor, or even having sex, you would probably benefit from reading this book. And the people you choose to be intimate with will probably thank you for making their safety a priority. -Nomy Lamm,Feminist Review
