Is this a good way to explain "consent"?

DH and I often discuss how we'll explain things to our toddlers (DD & DS) when they're a bit older and DH just sent me this link on the perfect metaphor.

Help me out there please, it sounds simplistic, but is it a good way to explain enthusiastic consent?

I like it. Not done a point by point analysis of it but I think it's a great way to get the point home about consent and how situations can change.

I think it's great. It's been pointed out to me, by greater minds than mine, that there are some gaps in scenarios. However, I still think it's a great starting point for someone who is new to the idea of enthusiastic consent, or someone who refused to see rape as rape in lots of cases.

I think the consensus of threads about this so far is very much 'yes'

The first thread (the one in chat) has a lot of good suggestions for additional scenarios.
