Our mission statement

The Council for Consensual Intimacy embraces and celebrates gender, sexual, and relational diversity and ALL consensual expressions of love, sex, and intimacy. We promote the importance of touch, affection, sexuality, and relationship, through the negotiation of consent. We are a community of sex-positive, sexually and relationally diverse people from all walks of life. We join together to promote the ideals of a sex-positive, consent-based culture, in which all people have the right to self-identify and consensually interrelate in whatever way has meaning for them.

One of our goals is to provide a clearinghouse of information, resources, and references on all relevant topics. We will offer a social networking site to meet and collaborate with others who are passionate about intimacy rights and freedoms. We publish relevant articles and news items of interest to our community. We organize discussion groups, book signings, activist events, candlelight vigils, voter turnout events, and social events. We work in concert with other organizations whose mission and ideals are in alignment with our own, such as the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom and others.
