Consent is always required, no matter the situation. Healthy relationships are built on respect and communication.
Unsolicited sexual content has no place on CMB. Sharing it without consent is harassment and goes against our Community Guidelines. If a match sends you sexual content you didn't ask for, or pressures you to accept it, please report them right away. Reporting is always anonymous.
Here are a few reminders about consent. They apply whether you're chatting in the app, on the phone, or in person.
Consent needs open communication
Talking about what you like, what you're looking for, and what you're comfortable with is key to mutual consent and to a healthy relationship. The more honest you are about your boundaries and wishes, the safer and happier your connection can be.
Ask about the other person's preferences and share yours. If you're not sure you're on the same page, ask. And if someone sets a boundary, respect it.
Never assume
Consent has to be given every step of the way. A "yes" once doesn't mean "yes" every time, and agreeing to one thing doesn't mean agreeing to something else.
Consent means a clear and enthusiastic agreement. Flirting, showing interest, or not saying "no" are not consent. If someone seems uncomfortable or can't clearly give consent, assume you don't have it and stop.
Consent can be withdrawn at any time
Everyone has the right to say "no" at any time, no matter what happened before or what your relationship status is. You're allowed to change your mind, set new boundaries, and stand your ground.
We're here to support you if anything happens, on or off the app.
