It has had some high-profile cases of bad behavior—nonconsensual or even abusive—and as a community, it is dealing with its own need to root out abuse. The kinksters I talked to stressed the importance of evolving the conversation to be even more thoughtful in navigating sex and consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since this is a community that has made an art out of talking openly about sex, I sat down with a group of kinksters in Washington, D.C., to learn some better ways to think and talk about consent.

If that negotiation is done right, it's more like a collaboration toward a common goal: each party's pleasure. That includes discussing what's about to happen before it happens, hashing out boundaries and ensuring that everyone involved is on the same page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Ren, the kind of consent she's getting is especially important. She organizes cigar socials—events where kinksters can explore the ritual of smoking cigars in a more sexual context. That could include one partner preparing the cigar for their dominant partner, presenting it and lighting it in a show of submission. Ren says she has started working only with what she calls \"enthusiastic consent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's opt-in consent, as opposed to what the vanilla world works with—which is opt-out consent. 'If you don't say no, it's fine' versus what I go for is, 'If you say yes, it's good.' \" For Ren, that opt-in consent means only doing to a partner what has already been discussed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But consent isn't just something given or received at the beginning—it needs to be ongoing. Julie says: \"I'm most sexually compatible with the kinds of people who say, 'Of course I'll tell you if something's wrong.' I don't want to be in a situation where I don't trust you to tell me if there's a problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ren adds that there have been multiple times when she has stopped having sex with a person when they've done something to her that she specifically told them not to do: \"I've kindly given them their pants back, and I've been like, 'Well, it's time for you to go.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consent is ongoing, and partners should be talking; if something goes wrong and someone wants to stop, everything should stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Talk about sex before you have sex. Talk about sex during sex. Talk about sex after sex,\" says Heather, who works with the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, an advocacy group for kinksters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's okay to have a discussion the next day or the week after and say, 'I liked this but I didn't like that or can we try this next time?' etc,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When you talk about sex acts, talk about what they mean to you\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The kinksters I spoke with said there was not a perfect checklist or script for how to talk about sex.

What does each person want to experience? What do you want to feel emotionally?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are so many things that when we get too hung up on specifics of activity, we lose track of some of the meaning—and a lot of times, the meaning is what affects people more,\" says Evan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heather says she prints out a \u003ca href=\"http://www.robot-hugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/negotiation-cheat-sheet.pdf\">short checklist on negotiation\u003c/a>. \"I always tell people: 'This is not a comprehensive list but is a great conversation starter for both sides,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the very top of the list is the question \"Mood: How do we want to feel?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ren says that question requires a little bit of self-reflection. \"I don't want to have bad sex anymore, so it's like how do I want to feel during sex?

It also suggests talking about each person's tolerance of the risk of minor harm, like rope or wax burns, or the potential emotional impacts from play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And all of it can be sexy to talk about, says Ren.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are so many ways you can get consent without going 'I'd like to kiss you right now' or 'I'd like to touch your leg,' \" Ren adds. \"Like begging can be really hot.

It's about having good sex.

They're calling it the \"micromobility revolution.\" Last year, there were \u003ca href=\"https://www.apnews.com/deec1b3bc84e41b88fb41aba0ea83c16\">38.5 million trips\u003c/a> on shareable e-scooters in the U.S., which is more than double the year before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The business model of these companies is pretty simple: flood a city with hundreds of scooters for passersby to rent. You can locate and pay for them using your smartphone, and they typically cost $1 plus 15 cents per minute.

Even if scooter companies survive price wars and can start making a buck, there's a natural limit to how high their prices can go. If you really love scooting everywhere, you can buy a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ridetwowheels.com/best-folding-electric-scooter/\">$300-$600\u003c/a> scooter yourself and save money.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Scooter NIMBYs\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Like Uber, AirBnB, and other sharing revolutionaries, scooter companies have already faced political backlash in reliably outraged cities like \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/electric-scooter-backlash-bfd20cb8-08d0-467f-b79d-d798023e5bf7.html\">San Francisco\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-bird-scooter-vandalism-20180809-story.html\">Los Angeles\u003c/a>.

They're calling it the \"micromobility revolution.\" Last year, there were \u003ca href=\"https://www.apnews.com/deec1b3bc84e41b88fb41aba0ea83c16\">38.5 million trips\u003c/a> on shareable e-scooters in the U.S., which is more than double the year before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The business model of these companies is pretty simple: flood a city with hundreds of scooters for passersby to rent. You can locate and pay for them using your smartphone, and they typically cost $1 plus 15 cents per minute. Then leave them wherever you want.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Will Bird Economics Fly?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At a couple bucks a ride, it takes about \u003ca href=\"https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/automotive-and-assembly/our-insights/micromobilitys-15000-mile-checkup\">four\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/7/18253522/bird-platform-scooter-new-zealand-canada-latin-america\">six months\u003c/a> for companies just to break even on these scooters, and there's a big problem: the scooters aren't lasting that long.
