Sar Surmick
Consent, Capacity, and Nuance w/ Sar Surmick
In this episode of the Subspace Exploration Project Clay and Todd meet with Sar Surmic from the Consent Academy to discuss nuance and the evolution of consent culture and the language we use to discuss it. They talk about our capacity to take on the responsibilities of intimacy any time we engage with others, and the importance of trust to heal and repair when mistakes are inevitably made.
Sar Surmick is a Marriage & Family Therapist, Professor, Identity Specialist, and an internationally known consent expert. She is the founder and director emeritus of the Consent Academy and one of the authors of the Consent Primer.

Consent, Capacity, and Nuance w/ Sar Surmick Episode Transcript
This is The Subspace Exploration Project.
Join us for a deep dive into kink, non-monogamy, mental and emotional health, gender expression, and community building.
In each episode, we're deconstructing the gender binary, celebrating queer culture, and creating a safe space for sex education, all while learning from authors, educators, mental health professionals, and folks like you and me.
Do you have personal stories and observations you would like to share about kink, BDSM, non-monogamy, and where neurodivergence, mental health, gender expression, community, and politics all intersect?
Maybe you have a request for a topic or a guest.
We welcome people in these communities to reach out to let us know how we're doing, to share their stories and interests, and help us to shape how we contribute to healthy, informative conversations on sex, kink, non-monogamy, and queer culture.
We would love for our fellow kinksters, ENM, and queer people to ask questions, make content requests, and share your stories.
You can remain anonymous or if you'd like to be a guest on the podcast, shoot us an email and let us know a little bit about you.

Goodbye.
