Anything Goes

"Anything goes" is an informal phrase signaling an open, flexible attitude toward sexual activities or partners, always grounded in consent.

"Anything goes" is casual shorthand for an open, non-restrictive attitude toward sex, kink, or the shape of a relationship. On dating and hookup profiles it usually signals that someone is up for a wide range of activities and does not have narrow limits or hard preferences. The phrase reflects a broader culture of sexual openness and exploration, but it is not a blank check. Consent, communication, and honest negotiation of boundaries still matter, and "anything goes" only ever describes what people have actually agreed to. In practice, most people who use it still have limits worth talking through before anything happens.
