It's a question with a myriad of answers - and one that Dr. Betty Martin has explored in her 40+ years as a hands-on practitioner, first as a chiropractor and later as a Somatic Sex Educator, Certified Surrogate Partner and Sacred Intimate. In her client sessions, she noticed a pattern wherein many clients would \"allow\" or go along with discomfort or unease rather than speak up for what they wanted or didn't want. Betty discovered there was a major component missing for people -- the confidence that we have a choice about what is happening to us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her framework, \"The Wheel of Consent(R)\" Betty traces the fundamental roots of consent back to our childhood conditioning. As children, we are taught that to be \"good\" we must ignore our body's discomfort and be compliant: to finish our food even if we're full, to go to bed - even if we're not tired, to let relatives hug and kiss us even if we don't want to. We learn that our feelings don't matter more than what is happening, and that we don't have a choice but to go along, whether or not we want it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs adults, this conditioning remains with us until we have an opportunity to unlearn it, which is why consent violations are often only called out after the violation has occurred - because we have not been taught or empowered to notice our boundaries, much less value or express our internal signals as the unwanted action is happening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Betty guides the reader through the Wheel of Consent framework, and shares practices to help us recover the ability to notice what we want and set clear boundaries. While the practices are based on exchanges of touch, they can also be learned without touch. In these practices, we discover that the Art of Giving includes knowing our own limits so we can be more generous within those limits, and not give beyond our capacity - a common problem which creates feelings of resentment or martyrdom. We also discover that the Art of Receiving invites us to notice and ask for what we really want, and not just what we think we are supposed to want. This knowledge, and its embodied practice, is foundational for creating clear agreements and bringing more satisfaction into relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile much of consent education focuses on noticing what we don't want, or prevention of violation, Betty has developed a \"pleasure-forward\" approach to teaching consent. By first accessing and awakening (sometimes re-awakening) our bodies' relationship to pleasure and what we want, we can practice noticing and verbalizing what we don't want. Such an approach provides a more holistic frame in which to unlearn the childhood conditioning that taught us to be silent and compliant, and in which individuals can learn to ask for what they want and state what they don't, in a more empowered way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe implications of this approach to consent education extends beyond touch and intimate relationships. When we forget how to notice what we really want, we lose our inner compass. When we continue to go along with things we don't feel are right, we lose our ability to speak up against injustice. This has a profound effect on society. We allow all manner of inequality, corruption, theft of natural resources and our planet's future health - because \"going along with it\" feels normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Wheel of Consent offers a deeply nuanced way to practice consent as an agreement that brings integrity, responsibility, and empowerment into human interaction, starting with touch and relationships, and further expanding our understanding of consent to social issues of equality and justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1643883089\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781643883083\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Martin, Betty, Dalzen, Robyn, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Luminare Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Luminare Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Feb 2021)","offer_id":45659448967365,"sku":"9781643883083","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781643883083.jpg?v=1768909439"},{"product_id":"the-gift-of-sex-a-guide-to-sexual-fulfillment","title":"The Gift of Sex: A Guide to Sexual Fulfillment","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre you hoping to reignite the passion in your relationship?

Doctors seek to reduce or remove intersex characteristics through early childhood surgery--cutting down clitorises, remaking penises, and even performing sterilizations. For decades, intersex medicine has sparked outrage from patient groups, lawmakers, intergovernmental organizations, and scholars. It has been condemned for causing trauma, scars, nerve damage, and the loss of bodily autonomy. Yet it continues. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIain Morland, an intersex scholar and advocate--and a former patient--explores why medicalization is so embedded in contemporary society and how to challenge it.

Weaving together theoretical analysis with autobiographical insights, Morland grapples with the complexity of dismantling intersex medicine. Accessibly written and passionately argued, this book exposes the contradictions of the medical management of intersex. With a bold mix of critical theory, psychology, queer theory, and philosophy, it provides fresh insights for scholars of intersex, gender, sexuality, and science, as well as for activists and their allies.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0231221770\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780231221771\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Morland, Iain\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Dec 2025)","offer_id":46291844628677,"sku":"9780231221771","price":25.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780231221771.jpg?v=1780113168"},{"product_id":"how-to-get-a-head-secrets-to-male-sexual-pleasure-from-a-female-urologist","title":"How to Get A-Head: Secrets to Male Sexual Pleasure from a Female Urologist","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt's not just about technique-it's about understanding what drives male pleasure on every level.
