Abstract

Sexual consent has undergone a transformation toward an enthusiastic feminist model that emphasizes consent as an ongoing and voluntary process of negotiation and afrmation. This paper considers how such a model can advance understandings of consent in HCI research and design in relation to embodied interactions with emerging technologies that also occur outside of sexual interactions. We apply the popular FRIES model of sexual consent (Freely given, Reversible, Informed, Enthusiastic and Specifc) to three areas of embodied interaction: 1) bodily-play interactions, 2) persuasive interactions with smart technologies, and 3) intimate interactions with anthropomorphized devices. Based on erotic play practices, we contribute a TEASE process guideline (Trafc lights, Establish ongoing dialogue, Aftercare, Safewords, and Explicate soft/hard limits) to advance consensual practice in HCI and develop implementation scenarios.
