Exploring the physical, emotional and legal consequences of sexual consent.
Many times people feel confused when it comes to sex and intimacy. Sometimes it’s difficult to know if the person you’re with wants to be intimate and even more difficult to ask or find out. Everyone needs to understand consent is and is not. In this program viewrs will learn that consent is not passive. Consent is a behavior that clearly shows that the person agrees to the sexual activity at the time. Viewers will come to understand that giving in is not the same as giving consent and you can’t assume consent. The program points out that many people are manipulated into doing things they’re not ready or willing to do and that manipulation is not consent.
Young adults will learn that saying yes one time does not imply ongoing, unlimited consent and that they have the right to change their mind and say no anytime for any reason. They will come to realize that a misunderstanding can cause physical, emotional and legal consequences that can impact the rest of their life.
Understanding Sexual Consent is from the Play it Out series which explores the rapidly changing issues confronting teenagers through improvisational skits that allow teens to speak directly to teens. By using improvisational skills to Play it Out, teenagers pick up on subtle language and context cues that can only come from young adults speaking to other young adults.
