Safety & Consent
Every Yes Should Feel Free
Practical principles for safer, kinder connections online and offline.
Adults only
This website is intended only for adults. Never communicate romantically or sexually with anyone you suspect is underage.
Consent must be informed and ongoing
Consent should be enthusiastic, specific and free from pressure. Agreeing to one activity is not agreement to another. Alcohol or substances can make valid consent impossible. Anyone may stop at any time.
Verify without overexposing yourself
A brief video call can reduce impersonation risk. Protect your home address, workplace, financial details and identity documents. Never send money to someone you met through a dating service.
Meet in public first
Use a busy, familiar venue. Tell a trusted person, arrange your own transport and keep your phone charged. Do not allow anyone to pressure you into changing locations.
Safer intimacy
Discuss sexual health, testing, barriers and contraception before intimacy. No online guide replaces advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
Watch for warning signs
- Pressure to move quickly or keep everything secret
- One partner speaking for another
- Refusal to video verify or meet publicly
- Requests for money or financial information
- Ignoring a boundary, even a seemingly small one
Emergency help
If you are in immediate danger in India, call the national emergency number 112. Local services and availability may vary. Leave the situation as soon as it is safe to do so.
