Affirmative Consent Consent means giving and receiving permission to participate in a sexual activity. Before being sexual with someone, you need to know if they want to be sexual with you too.
Consent must be continuously given. Consenting to one type of activity does not mean that your partner has consented to other activities.
Everyone has the right to stop sexual activity at any time and for any reason. Additionally, someone might be unable to give consent because of their age or their mental capacity. Sexual Violence Without consent, any sexual activity including oral sex, genital touching, and vaginal or anal penetration is sexual violence.
Sexual violence includes sexual assault, rape, or any other sexual behavior that happens because one person forces, coerces, manipulates or intimidates the other person. Sexual violence can be perpetrated by strangers, acquaintances, family members, spouses, or dating partners.
