Consent, or permission/agreement for something to happen, is one of our favorite topics to cover in More Than Sex-Ed programs. We use consent in our daily lives; it’s More Than just interactions in sex (see what we did there?)
You can get involved! We are looking for examples of ENTHUSIASTIC, informed, freely given consent in modern media. These can come from your favorite movies, TV shows, music videos (preferably something we can cite in a clip) and more.
Quite honestly we have no trouble at all finding video clips of non-consent or murky consent. Surely you have seen one or two of these blockbuster Harrison Ford examples. But the thing we are looking for is the much rarer example of positive, affirming, unmistakable, intimate, heartfelt consent between two people who actually care about each other. Consent in the way we hope young people will feel empowered to employ in their relationships.
