Affirmative consent

As defined in california sb-967

 

 

“Affirmative consent” means affirmative, conscious, and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity. It is the responsibility of each person involved in the sexual activity to ensure that he or she has the affirmative consent of the other or others to engage in the sexual activity. Lack of protest or resistance does not mean consent, nor does silence mean consent. Affirmative consent must be ongoing throughout a sexual activity and can be revoked at any time.

Re: Affirmative consent

A woman saying nothing is not consent. Obviously, if both parties agree verbally to have sex but if one person later denies agreeing, the other had best have a recording of it!

Ask Craig. He has the last word on all things legal in heaven. Maybe he could read their lips. LOL. My sides are aching with that goose. Can you imagine what living with a total nut would be like.

Re: Affirmative consent

I cant ever recall giving verbal consent.  I cant think of a time when verbal consent was given

  I can recall "no", i can recall infering no from action and reaction.
