Free Use is an arrangement where one partner consents in advance to being available for sexual activity with another partner at any time, without needing to give fresh consent for each specific encounter.
People drawn to Free Use often describe the appeal as a form of deep trust and surrender, or a way to step outside the usual negotiation that precedes sex. In practice, it usually involves a standing agreement with clear boundaries about when, where, and how it applies, and some couples use a signal like a specific piece of clothing or jewelry to indicate the arrangement is active.
Worth knowing: Because consent is given in advance rather than at the moment, the arrangement depends on clearly established limits, an easy way to pause or withdraw consent, and regular check-ins to confirm the agreement still works for everyone.
Also called: free use agreement, free use dynamic, blanket consent, standing consent, free use 24/7, limited free use, free use scenes
