dc.description.abstract |
Sexual consent determines if sex is consensual, but the concept is under-researched
globally. In this article, we focus on heterosexual young men and how they negotiate sex and
consent. We draw on peer group interviews to understand how young men are constituted by the
dominant discourses at play in shaping their realities. We have identified two different discourses
that inform consent, the discourse of consent (based on legal, educational, and grassroots
discourses), and the discourse of heterosexuality (based on the heterosexual script, porn, and
gender roles) resulting in conflicting messages for boys. They are supposed to take responsibility
for sex to be consensual as well as being gentle partners, but at the same time, the heterosexual
discourse itself produces power imbalances in sex and dating. |
