Again and again I've ranted about this topic, and here I go again, because another damned BDSM book set me off. I'm going to keep it short this time, because I've said my piece in previous blog entries.

In fact, I'm just going to let Dictionary.com sum it up for me:

con·sent [kuhn-sent]

–verb (used without object)

1. to permit, approve, or agree; comply or yield (often fol. by to or an infinitive): He consented to the proposal. We asked her permission, and she consented.

2. Archaic . to agree in sentiment, opinion, etc.; be in harmony.

–noun

3. permission, approval, or agreement; compliance; acquiescence: He gave his consent to the marriage.

4. agreement in sentiment, opinion, a course of action, etc.: By common consent he was appointed official delegate.

5. Archaic . accord; concord; harmony.

That is all.
