Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Sexual consent" in English language version.
Consent often isn't clearly defined among men who engage in chemsex. Various men have told me that consent is given up upon using drugs. "When I went into these situations, I went in with the knowledge that anything goes," says Sam.
The idea continues to be perpetuated that black women cannot be raped because of our supposed want or need for sex, that is almost masculine in nature — giving the assailant a pass because they believe they are just giving black women what they want.

By forcing transgender people to disclose their history to prospective partners the law is not only infringing their human rights it's also reinforcing the bigoted idea that trans people are in some way abhorrent

Jian Ghomeshi says that what he does in the bedroom is done with consent. This assertion invites a legal question: just how does consent work in Canadian law?
But she believes that the "leakiness" and "idiocy" of sexual desire cannot be contained by regulation; people need to learn to deal with it themselves.
For years, my female friends and I have spoken, with knowing nods, about a sexual interaction we call "the place of no return." It is a kind of sexual nuance that most women instinctively understand: the situation you thought you wanted, or maybe you actually never wanted, but somehow here you are and it's happening and you desperately want out, but you know that at this point exiting the situation would be more difficult than simply lying there and waiting for it to be over. In other words: saying yes when we really mean no.

(help)But the sanitization of gay spaces—a total cleaning up of our sometimes messy brushes with desire—would be a profound loss. What arguments like these make clear is that when it comes to the language of assault, we should not generalize. A "strange hand on our butts" in a gay club, as Henry writes, is not necessarily an act of sexual violence. To lump the two ends of a spectrum together under one category of assault trivializes the seriousness of aggressive acts and ignores the fact that unexpected—but non-threatening—encounters can be a positive part of sexual discovery
The importance of consent is often overlooked in queer spaces.
Gay bars and gay venues offer a safe environment to celebrate our sexuality, free of judgment. Yet as we've built fences to protect us from the hatred of the outside world, we've forgotten the need to protect the people inside of it as well.
Rather than seeing participants as potential victims or perpetrators, such "bystander education" programmes aim to empower individuals not only proactively to intervene to prevent sexual assaults from being perpetrated
But, from a social conservative viewpoint, is this really all that bad? Why on earth are we so concerned about protecting those who participate in the hook up culture? Shouldn't we want to create an incentive structure for men that encourage them to invest in long-term emotional relationships with the women they want physical intimacy from?
As these [queer] spaces continue to normalize, and even encourage, sexual violence, they undermine their mission to provide safe and comfortable spaces for queer people to interact.
"We found that although white students correctly perceived that black women were at risk in a pre-assault situation, they tended not to feel as personally involved in the situation," the researchers at SUNY Geneseo, Jennifer Katz and Christine Merrilees, said in an interview with PsyPost. In other words, "despite their shared status as women, white female bystanders in the current study may have felt that a Black woman's plight was not as personally relevant because race has a more powerful effect than gender on intent to intervene and feelings of responsibility to intervene," they write in the study.
