Consent is one of the corner-stones of great sex & positive sexuality, & yet because it’s so rarely talked about during sex education at school, young people are confused about what actually constitutes positive & enthusiastic consent.
As Rhiannon Holder (from the amazing charity, Brook) explains,
“Too often consent is viewed as a simple yes or no, and it’s much more complex than that,” says Holder. ”I don’t think many young people are offered the opportunity to explore all of the factors involved in giving consent: peer pressure, alcohol and drugs, self-esteem, coercion, gender issues.”
Enthusiastic consent can mean different things to different people, but if you’re not sure whether your partner’s happy or not, check in with them!
