C.T.K.

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.

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.
