Read the following scenario and answer the following questions:

"Chu and Alex have had crushes on each other for ages. One day, Chu

invites Alex over to hang out. They end up making out. Chu starts to

unbutton Alex's pants. Alex really likes Chu, but isn't ready to move

that fast. Not wanting to hurt Chu's feelings, Alex tries to push Chu's

hands away, but keeps kissing, hoping to send the message that

"making out is cool, but not anything more right now." Chu thinks Alex

is playing "hard-to-get" and is really turned on. Plus, Chu expects Alex

to just say "no" or "stop" if something isn't ok. So, Chu continues. The

next day, Alex feels really uncomfortable with what happened."

The purpose of the discussion is to determine what went wrong in the

scenario and to brainstorm how things could have gone better. The

point is not to place blame on either of the characters in the scenario.

1. What does consent mean? Give me an example when it relates to

intimacy and/or sexual activity. (Appropriate language and sexual relationships

responses please!!!!!)

2. Do you think there was consent in this scenario? Why or why not?

3. What are some reasons (at least 2 reasons) why a person might

not feel comfortable saying "no"?

4. Is body language always an adequate form of communication?

5. Whose responsibility is it to ask for consent?
