Description

Definitions

  • A psychological device that temporarily defrosts personal boundaries with the magic word ‘okay’, then refreezes them invisibly.
  • A self-protective communication protocol that crafts a ‘we’re fine’ smile while keeping the escape route open.
  • A contract button for no-turning-back, exchanged through words and gestures.
  • An invisible remote that mutes the heart’s ’no’ and blasts the ‘yes’ on full volume.
  • Consent as a glass chess piece placed on a table, exchanged while praying ’no regrets’.
  • A landmine disguised as a gesture that lightly taps the switch called consent.
  • A temporary buffer of courage that halts the self-question ‘are you sure?’ for an instant.
  • An invisible onramp laid across the highway of communication.
  • A linguistic mask that covers the heart’s ‘maybe not…’ with the spoken ‘sure’.
  • A signal lamp that, once lit, collapses the delicate balance of consent.
