C.T.K.
Consent To Kiss
(because safety is sexy)
We just published our book "Consent to Kiss"!
(because safety is sexy)
CTK stands for Consent To Kiss.
In it's simplest form:
Add the letters "CTK" anywhere in your online dating profile to let suitors know that you expect a first kiss should be asked for, and never forced or stolen from you without consent. You believe safety is sexy!
In it's more complex form:
We want a movement around "CTT" (Consent To Touch) which helps show positive examples in popular social media, TV and music videos of consent conversations and even safe sex conversation.
Watch our videos to learn more.
Most woman (and some men) have already experienced the awkwardness of an unwanted kiss and where it can lead. Our research indicates about 2 in 3 women in the U.S. have felt violated by an unwanted kiss. Approximately 1 in 5 women in the U.S. are victims of rape or attempted rape. In much of the world, there is a social norm for touch and kissing that encourages the more powerful person to lean in or grab and not think about the value of respecting someone's bodily autonomy by asking first. It's time to take a stand, and we want your help! We need progressive people like you to break out of the old mindset - we need creative thinkers to help us spread this message however we can.
