Sex and consent
Sex and consent
Great sex should be about connection, intimacy, affirmation, and fun, as much as it is about being safer. However, some of the choices made during sex can have serious consequences, causing lasting harm. This can be particularly true in relation to chemsex.
Words like ‘consent’, ‘sexual assault’ and ‘rape’ may be new in that it has only been recently that they are being talked about more openly. Holding up a mirror to our sex lives can be difficult for many reasons, and for many gay men, it’s hard to believe that we may be the victim of sexual assault or rape. Or that we may be committing a crime ourselves.

Sexual consent
Sexual consent is about having the ability and freedom to agree to sexual activity. This must be clearly established between two (or more) people before any kind of sexual act or behaviour, and you can change your mind at any time.
Sex without consent
Sex without consent is a crime. Talking about this stuff is not easy, particularly when we’re high and horny. If something has happened to you, you may not even have found the words yet. Whether it’s a feeling … sense … or hazy memory: talk to a friend, go to a sexual health clinic, or phone a helpline.
