Healthy Relationships

Relationships can take many forms, but it's important they contain trust, accountability, safety, honesty, communication, support, and cooperation. Consent is the freely-given, specific, informed, clear-minded "yes" to any kind of physical or sexual interaction.

In the state of Missouri, people can freely give consent with other people starting at age 17. However, minors between 14-17 can give consent to partners who are less than 4 years older than them. For example, a 14 year-old can consent to sex with a 17 year-old, but not an 18 year-old. A 15 year-old can consent to sex with an 18 year-old, but not a 19 year-old. Anyone 13 years old or younger cannot legally consent to sex in Missouri.
