Susan Wright founded the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom in 1997 and currently serves as Executive Director and Director of Incident Reporting & Response, which provides direct services on discrimination and consent incidents. The National Coalition for Sexual Freedom is committed to creating a political, legal, and social environment in the United States that advance the equal rights of consenting adults who practice forms of alternative sexual and relationship expression. NCSF advances the rights and advocates for consenting adults in the BDSM-Leather-Fetish, swing, and polyamory communities. Susan chaired the successful DSM-5 Revision Project which helped result in the consensual paraphilias being removed from the Paraphilic Disorders in 2013. She is also on the Consent Counts committee that worked with the American Law Institute to create a legal framework for BDSM in the new Model Penal Code on Sexual Assault. Susan’s research has been published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, Journal of Sexual Medicine, Journal of Behavioral Health Services & Research, International Journal of Social Psychiatry, Journal of Trauma and Dissociation, and Journal of Homosexuality.

In the latest in our series of monthly conversations, our lovely Auntie Midori and Susan Wright will go in-depth on consent and kink with topics including:

• What can groups do to help communities be safer?
• Legal framework and kink consent. Can there be a best practice based on legal framework?
• The NCSF’s Consent Policy & Procedures for groups
• Guideline on Consent Incident Reporting and Responding

Send in your questions in advance by typing them here in the comment section so Midori can address your specific questions and concerns during the class!
