Study Notes
Sexual Consent
- Sexual consent is an internal state of willingness that can't be directly observed, but inferences can be made based on behavior.
- There are two types of consent: explicit consent (affirmative consent) and implied consent (inferred consent).
Complexities of Sexual Consent
- Individuals often have multiple objectives, which can sometimes conflict.
- Consent cues are indicators of likelihood, not agreements.
- Consent can look different for different sexual behaviors.
- Behaviors are often done concurrently rather than one at a time.
- The behaviors used most frequently to show consent are not the most indicative of consent.
Consent in Theory and Practice
- Affirmative consent behaviors are inconsistent with real-life sexual interactions.
- A broader approach, such as the "tuning in" approach, emphasizes being sensitive and responsive to oneself and others.
Consent from the World of Kink
- Consent is essential in BDSM and polyamory to differentiate it from abuse and cheating.
- Don't assume anything; talk about what sex acts mean to you.
- Consent is a continuous dialogue that may include safe words or traffic lights.
- Learn to tune into yourself and describe what gives you pleasure.
Fighting Sexual Violence by Focusing on Pleasure

Adolescents' Health and Well-being

- There is little research on the positive influences on adolescents' health.
