2. Trigger Warning
These slides contain information about sexual
assault and/or violence which may be triggering to
survivors.
If any time you need to step out of the room or use
the bathroom feel free. Someone will come out to
check on you.
This is a judge free zone.
6. Sexual Violence
Sexual Violence (SV) refers to sexual activity where
consent is not obtained or freely given. Anyone can
experience SV, but most victims are female. The
person responsible for the violence is typically male
and is usually someone known to the victim. The
person can be, but is not limited to, a friend,
coworker, neighbor, or family member.
8. Consent
Affirmative consent is a knowing, voluntary, and
mutual decision among all participants to engage in
sexual activity. Consent can be given by words or
actions, as long as those words or actions create
clear permission regarding willingness to engage in
the sexual activity. Silence or lack of resistance, in
and of itself, does not demonstrate consent. The
definition of consent does not vary based upon a
participant's sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity, or gender expression.
9. Is Consent Intimate?
YES!
● Practice makes perfect. Be creative and
spontaneous.
● Finding the language that you and your partner
feel comfortable with can be intimidating at first,
but ultimately, it is going to make your sex life
more exciting and fulfilling.
11. 4 Types of Intimacy
● Intellectual: Where two people exchange thoughts,
share ideas and enjoy similarities and difference
between their opinions
● Experiential: when people get together to do an
activity that involves themselves and their other. This
is usually not saying much to each other or not sharing
many feelings. Ex: painting together
● Emotional: where two or more persons can
comfortably share their feelings together and
empathize with the feelings of the other person
● Sexual: this is a broad range of sensuous activities that
is not just sexual intercourse. Any form of sexual
expression
