Abstract:
"For many years, 'no means no' served as the standard for sexual consent, but concerns about factors that could prevent someone from rejecting an unwanted advance, including coercion and intoxication, have resulted in a reevaluation of how it should be defined. The debate over whether this standard should be replaced and what should replace it has brought forth various possible solutions, with some arguing that only enthusiastic verbal consent will do, and others asserting that this expectation is unrealistic. Factors like age, positions of trust and authority, and mental and emotional conditions and disabilities also factor into the discussion"-- Provided by publisher.
