IDC Communication & Consent Practices 3

Question 1

An actor tells the intimacy coordinator they are 'fine' but body language suggests discomfort. The IDC-aligned action is to:

Accepted Answer

Gently name the observed non-verbal cues and invite a more detailed check-in

Answer

IDC training emphasizes that verbal and non-verbal signals must align; when they conflict, the coordinator should name the discrepancy and invite fuller communication.

Question 2

Which term refers to the gradual escalation of intimacy requests beyond what was originally negotiated, often without explicit re-consent?

Accepted Answer

Scope creep

Answer

Scope creep describes incremental expansion of intimacy demands beyond negotiated parameters, a pattern the coordinator must identify and halt.

Question 3

Before a closed set is established for an intimacy scene, the intimacy coordinator should ensure:

Accepted Answer

A clear list of essential personnel is agreed upon and all non-essential crew are dismissed

Answer

Establishing who constitutes essential personnel and dismissing all others is a foundational step in creating a physically and psychologically safe closed-set environment.

Question 4

A safe word system in IDC practice is most accurately described as:

Accepted Answer

A pre-agreed word or signal that immediately and non-judgmentally stops all intimacy action

Answer

Safe words are pre-agreed, non-judgmental stop signals covering any reason an actor needs to pause, not just physical discomfort.

Question 5

In IDC consent practice, the phrase 'consent is not a checkbox' most directly means:

Accepted Answer

Consent must be ongoing, revisitable, and cannot be given once and considered permanent

Answer

Consent is a dynamic, continuous process that must be re-evaluated whenever circumstances change, not a single moment of agreement that covers all future actions.
