Consent is Sexy

"Yes?"
"YES YES YES!"

Sarah & Skye share excerpts from their books and thoughts on how hot it is when characters consent. In real life and in romance, hearing your partner say yes is far from an awkward moment! The ladies of Quick & Dirty Romance want to see a world where consent is normalized, and empowerment to voice your desires is a turn-on. 

This episode is a continuation of the article they wrote for Frolic Network. Read more here: http://bit.ly/frolictips
