Abstract

Educating young people about sexual consent aims to help them develop healthy relationships and prevent sexual harm. Yet, there remains no consensus on how to define consent nor the connection between consent and sexual harm. This article discusses findings from qualitative research conducted with young people in England that has explored issues of sexual consent. It engages with tensions around the so-called ‘grey areas’ and oft-critiqued ‘miscommunication model’ of consent and suggests that some form of ‘miscommunication’ may underpin some, albeit not all, experiences of sexual harm among young people. Young people may experience problems articulating and interpreting consent not because of malintent or substandard or disparate communication skills but because of interpersonal and sociocultural power dynamics that constrain the communication and operation of consent. Consent education needs, therefore, to support young people develop the socio-emotional skills and literacy required to navigate gendered and heterosexual (inter)personal pressures, expectations, and sexual scripts. It should involve active participation of young people whereby they identify the conditions in which sexual activity unfolds and the power dynamics that constrain the operation of consent.

年轻人和性同意:在模棱两可和矛盾心理的“灰色地带”中将“沟通不端”置于语境中
对年轻人进行关于性同意的教育,目的是帮助他们发展健康的关系,防止性伤害。然而,对于如何定义同意以及同意与性伤害之间的关系,仍然没有达成共识。本文讨论了对英国年轻人进行的定性研究的结果,该研究探讨了性同意的问题。它涉及到所谓的“灰色地带”和经常受到批评的同意“沟通不畅模式”的紧张关系,并表明某种形式的“沟通不畅”可能是年轻人中一些(尽管不是全部)性伤害经历的基础。年轻人在表达和解释“同意”时可能遇到问题,这并不是因为他们有恶意、沟通技巧不达标或不同,而是因为人际关系和社会文化的权力动态限制了“同意”的沟通和操作。因此,同意教育需要支持年轻人发展社会情感技能和识字能力,以应对性别和异性恋(相互)的个人压力、期望和性剧本。它应包括年轻人的积极参与,从而使他们确定开展性活动的条件和限制同意操作的权力动态。
