WANNA HAVE SEX? (CONSENT 101) (The rape argument on DU)

[Omaha Steve]

After reading the rape culture posts, I found this. As a front desk IST for the Omaha Police Dept., I talk to a couple DV or sex assaulted people a week.

Let's take five minutes to talk about sex. And then let's talk about it again later. And most importantly, let's talk about it before we're having it. And during and after and then again after that. Keep the conversation rollin', y'all.

TRIGGER WARNING: The following video contains discussion of sexual assault.

Issues like this are tricky! Watching this video is a great start to staying informed and cultivating a culture of consent, but it can't guide you through every sexual situation you'll ever encounter. So remember it's important to keep the conversation open. A great start would be sharing this video with your friends ... think you could do that?

SUMMARY
In this video, Laci Green offers a basic overview to sexual consent: how to properly ask for consent, as well as what consent does and does not sound like. In the second half of the video, she discusses a few circumstances in which consent cannot be obtained (when the person is drunk, underage, or when you're an authority figure). She concludes on the thought that cultivating a culture where good consent is the norm is one of the most powerful ways to prevent sexual assault, and we all have to be a part of it.
