Alumni Quad Movie RoomMATTERS OF CONSENT: A FRANK TALK FOR MEN
Many college men do not have accurate information about what constitutes "consent" in sex and dating situations. For instance, some men do not know that having sex with someone who is intoxicated and/or high can be a form of sexual assault. This workshop is an opportunity for men to learn what constitutes "consent" in sex and dating situations. It will also include a frank discussion about expressing your own sexual interests and limits as well as ways to ensure you have secured consent before initiating sexual activity with another person.
