Sexual consent
Book - 2024
In recent years, the concept of sexual consent has been scrutinized and reevaluated, with many arguing that it goes beyond just respecting when someone says "no" to a sexual activity--it also depends on someone willingly agreeing to the activity without any sort of coercion. As a result, power dynamics have become an important part of the discussion around sexual consent, along with how the use of drugs and alcohol impact one's ability to give consent. The shifting definition of consent has resulted in debate over what should be considered sexual consent and, conversely, sexual assault; when power dynamics make the issue of consent murky; and how sexual consent should be taught to young people. This volume presents a wide ran...ge of viewpoints on these topics and more.
