The kid is right: stopping every ten minutes and getting a yes is stupid as gently caress. But you shouldn't ridicule the idea of actively seeking consent.

I don't know why you think we're in disagreement.
I'm not ridiculing the idea of active consent, I haven't at any point in the thread. My argument is there are other ways to get and give consent beyond the merely "explicit verbal." The right look, the right touch, the right smile should be considered enough in hot and heavy situations.

What I do to imply consent is at every escalation of the sex act, I give out a really guttural "ohh yeaaaahhh" and I encourage my partner to do the same.

Expecting people to pause at regular intervals to get verbal consent is not reasonable. It's not how sex goes.

I feel like in the larger context of the article that is not really what they are actually teaching, it's more just explaining the idea of checking you're both into the escalation, and even giving them tips for how to make that more natural. Sure, as adults we probably don't need to be as formal as all that but for young kids it could be pretty useful, I can actually see it leading to better sex in general given that it promotes communication. There can be some weirdness and strange redefinitions of consent that start to creep into college campus feminism stuff, but I don't see any of that here.

So the problem is that women are apparently taught to fear saying no (not sure who by, maybe I missed that bit in Sex Ed class) and so they have to say yes at frequent intervals. Um... so are women not capable of lying? If they are, then we'd better break out the lie detectors too!
"May I continue intercourse?"
"What? Yes!!"
"Are you sure?"
"God yes come on...."
"Can't be certain... can I stick these pads on you, just need my lie detector to confirm you mean it"

(Men, of course, cannot be raped)

TBH, there's an easy way to avoid this problem: don't have sex with this type of person. Why would you even want to? Wouldn't the perpetual scowl be a bit of a bonerkill?

Mostly agree. My only issue with it is when the teacher says 'pretty much', it sends out a warped message to a class of (mostly) virgins about how things go during sex, much in the same way drug education went for me in school in the early 90s. I had the impression that drugs were pushed by knife-wielding pimps and that my brain would be turned into gel. When you inevitably get drugging, you find a lot of normal people having a great time and maybe don't drug as responsibly as you should because you realise this gay life is a lie.

Sex education needs to empower girls to voice it when they're uncomfortable and ensure the guys know that their awkward fumbling might be okay up to a point, but understand that there's limits and to be sensitive to when they're pushing them.

how do they work?
"Hey guys if she pushes you away maybe ask if shes ok, hey girls if he's doing stuff you're uncomfortable maybe mention it" would probably be reasonable.

However the whole

"hey can i kiss you"
"hey can I undress you"
"hey can i engage in foreplay"
"hey can i get on with the sex already"

is dumb and hilarious.

Well I am now imagining a dude all like 'areyoustillintothisareyoustillintothisareyoustillintothisareyoustillintothis' the entire time while the girl is mechanically answering 'yes....yes....yes.....yes....yes'. The consent app records constantly and if it hears a pause will instantly call the police and set off nearby wirelessly connected alarms, which have of course been installed everywhere.

I spent the night with a Muslim girl once. I didn't know she was Muslim until i woke up the next morning to a pair of Korans on the nightstand. That one really freaked me out. I don't know why she had two of them, maybe I was supposed to take one on my way out?

i actually did learn this from movies and poo poo when i was a teenager. my earliest sexual encounters were ridiculed with requests to do poo poo, and (surprise surprise) girls hate that.


this also glosses over the fact that some girls like to say "no" to people they want just so they wont feel like sluts for having sex

A big part of this seems designed to change girls behaviour as much as it is men's, they just can't acknowledge that too explicitly or they'll be accused of victim blaming.

Yes but they are ok with the converse: if someone doesn't say yes, then you should continue.

Here's a wild idea: women feel pressured to consent to mens' actions. So giving men the idea that "just cause she ain't sayin poo poo doesn't mean she's ok with it," will hopefully result in a balanced situation with communication on both sides as equals.

I think people think that women have just as much power as men when it comes to sex. Women are still taught to be meek and receptive by society.

im pretty sure the fact that the girls wanting to have sex again and talk to me afterwards is evidence enough that it was consensual

are you supposed to do this every time

am i supposed to ask my girlfriend whenever i try to kiss her? is she supposed to do the same to me??

I attended a presentation in college called "May I Kiss You?" which was essentially the "explicit positive verbal consent" thing. My girlfriend and I thought it sounded like a good idea and tried it. Shortly thereafter we both agreed that it was stupid and went back to having sex like normal people.
