Sexual-trust guidance reinforces that consent, STI transparency, preference memory, check-ins, and respect for “no” are practical markers of safety.

Boundary content remains useful when it offers nuanced scripts, while categorical phrase lists and repeated “gaslighting” claims remain low priority.
