SSC, RACK, PRICK, FRIES, CCCC etc the acronyms to do with consent. We have a educational topic on consent but I feel that each individual uses different acronym for different reasons and may not use some for others. 
 
So let's have a round table discussion about what do people use when talking about consent and why? Whether it's BDSM related or not. 
 
I know there's a range of new members not just to the site but also to kink and BDSM in general. We also have a great plethora of experience amongst users and educators on the site. So I am sure the discussion will have interesting variety of perspectives. 
 
I will go first - My preference is FRIES as it encompasses all the areas of consent such as being informed, consent being Revocable, consent being enthusiastic etc. 
 
The downside I see with FRIES is that is doesn't specifically refer to "risk" like RACK or PRICK do. But kind of covers it with the "informed" part, but isn't as specific. 
 
While I personally preference FRIES when discussing consent, I believe that narrowing it down to an acronym misses some of the important parts, or glosses over areas of consent. But talking about the acronyms and what consent means to you and finding out what it means to others is a great vetting discussion!

I consider SSC, RACK, and PRICK to be more about understanding the risks involved with kink, where FRIES and CRISP deal more directly with consent. Consent is part of the first three, entirely about the last two.
 
That's a really good way of looking at it. 
 
I honestly feel that kind of need to have a balance of all of them... I'm just trying to find a fun way of incorporating it all lmao
 
CRISPY FRIES with a side of RACK of PRICK ???? 
 
But on serious point I think it's important that you aren't just focused on one only. They all have good points and they all don't encompass the complicated nuances of risk, safety and consent.
