Sexual Abuse is sexual activity that occurs without consent

There are various types of abuse. But today let’s talk about sexual abuse.

It’s defined as any sexual activity that occurs without consent.

So I guess we first need to talk about what’s Consent?

True consent is freely given, reversible, informed, enthusiastic and specific consent.

That’s a choice that you make. It’s made without pressure, manipulation and without being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

If you’re in a committed relationship, you’re still allowed to say no.

If your partner doesn’t allow you the freedom to say no, that’s pressure, that’s manipulation. And if you engage in sex anyway with that partner, that’s not consent.

You said yes after being worn down. You said yes because you were afraid of the punishment.

Punishment can be anything from something very overt to constant groaning and a bad attitude or the silent treatment. Sexual coercion is a fascinating topic.

Has this happened to you? Can you relate?
