When it comes to sexual acts, the presence of consent is what differentiates sex from sexual assault. Before we become sexually active, we need to understand what consent is and what it looks like. Sexual acts without consent are not sex, they are sexual assault.&nbsp; Not knowing what consent looks like is not an excuse for sexual assault, there is <em>never<\/em> any circumstance in which sexual assault would be okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">At its core, consent can be broken down into these main principles:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>M<\/strong>utual<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Parties must agree mutually and freely without any use of deception. No one is withholding information that would cause the other person to not want to engage in sexual acts with them.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>O<\/strong>ngoing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Consent is an ongoing process and can be taken back at any time. Throughout the sexual activity, consent is asked for and given, especially if the sexual act changes to a different sexual act<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>V<\/strong>erbal<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Consent must be communicated, consent is not implied through a look or through clothing. If the individual is unable to verbally consent, they must communicate their consent using their primary method of communication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>E<\/strong>nthusiastic<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Free from hesitation, coercion, fear, and any other form of influence other than genuine interest in sexually engaging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>S<\/strong>ober<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In order to give informed consent, one should be free from cognitive impairment from the use of alcohol and\/or other drugs (read more about consent and substance use here)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consent is more than \u201cYes Means Yes\u201d and \u201cNo Means No.\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is a \u201cYes\u201d not consent?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply receiving a \u201cYes\u201d doesn\u2019t always mean you have consent. Someone may say \u201cYes\u201d when they don\u2019t mean \u201cYes\u201d if they have been pressured, coerced, incapacitated, or don\u2019t have all the information they need to make an informed decision. A \u201cYes\u201d for one sexual act is not a \u201cYes\u201d for all sexual acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For example, \u201cYes\u201d doesn\u2019t mean \u201cYes\u201d if:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The \u201cYes\u201d was given by one person if the other person begged, badgered, or pressured them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The \u201cYes\u201d was not the first response, and the initial response of \u201cNo\u201d was not accepted by the other person.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The \u201cYes\u201d was given out of fear for physical safety, emotional safety, retaliation, relationship status, or the anticipation of any other consequences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The \u201cYes\u201d was given by a minor to an adult.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Substances were used to receive a \u201cYes.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Something was promised in exchange for a \u201cYes.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cYes\u201d was given for an initial act, but not subsequent acts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The \u201cYes\u201d was given when someone was being dishonest about STI\u2019s or the use of contraceptives\/STI protection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The absence of a \u201cNo\u201d is not consent.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not hearing the word \u201cNo\u201d does not mean you have consent. Sometimes, someone may not say the word \u201cNo\u201d when they don\u2019t want to engage in sexual acts, as people can be put in situations where giving a \u201cNo\u201d is not possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When might someone not say \u201cNo?\u201d<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If someone is unable to verbally communicate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If someone gestures \u201cNo\u201d or physically tries to avoid contact without verbally saying \u201cNo,\u201d such as turning away.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If someone is frozen in fear or shock.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The \u201cfreeze\u201d response is a fear response that has been biologically hardwired into us that may activate when our body is doing what it can to help us survive a situation.
