Overview

Human relationships contain infinite possibilities, but the fairytale ideal of companionship does not exist for most people. In Consensuality, Helen Wildfell and her co-adventurers detail the process for creating a healthy, successful relationship and avoiding common pitfalls. The authors explore gender identity, sexual boundaries, power struggles, and emotional dysfunction. They offer their experiences in overcoming regret and resentment, finding self-empowerment, and provide hard-won communication tips for building healthy partnerships. Filled with personal descriptions of the complex layers in human interaction, Consensuality's stories and illustrations combine gender studies with memoir to truly make the personal political.

Incredibly illuminating. I'd never thought of it this way before, but I'm getting it now: Love, self-esteem, and even happiness all come down to consent. As I read I was like, Ping! Ping! That's me! Or, Hey, I've met that, too! Consentuality is that rare self-help book that is actually intelligent and helpful. It should be required reading for all social beings. --Ariel Gore, author of The End of Eve and Bluebird: Women and the New Psychology of Happiness Incredibly illuminating.
