Genuine consent is a cornerstone of a healthy relationship.
Consent is not something that someone bargains, pleas, or negotiates for. True consent is given freely. Consent is only present in the first inclination. We wish everyone to have an understanding of the laws of Florida. However, we hope your aspiration is to seek healthy, respectful relationships that transcend the mere letter of the law.
