Nagoski’s model is better than “no means no,” which assumes that someone is saying yes unless otherwise stated. Unlike models that emphasize enthusiastic consent (“yes means yes”), it doesn’t imply that aces who can’t give enthusiastic consent are unable to consent at all, which would wrongly place us in the same category as children and animals. It expands the “yes means yes” slogan by pointing out all the possible varieties of yes.
As someone who identifies as sex-indifferent I really appreciate the categories of consent framework and wish more people would learn it
