However, the law does not view this as legitimate. Similarly, some minors under the legal age of consent may knowingly and willingly choose to be in a sexual relationship. Roffee argues that the use of particular language in the legislation regarding these familial sexual activities manipulates the reader to view it as immoral and criminal, even if all parties are consenting. For example, some adult siblings or other family members may voluntarily enter into a relationship, however the legal system still deems this as incestual, and therefore a crime. He also demonstrates how the moral notion of consent does not always align with the legal concept. Dr James Roffee, a senior lecturer in criminology in the Monash University School of Social Sciences, argues that legal definition (see Legal concept of consent) needs to be universal, so as to avoid confusion in legal decisions. Within the scholarly literature, definitions surrounding consent and how it should be communicated have been contradictory, limited or without consensus. Įlements of consent Moral and legal perspectives Specifically, the development of "yes means yes" and affirmative models, such as Hall's definition: "the voluntary approval of what is done or proposed by another permission agreement in opinion or sentiment." Hickman and Muehlenhard state that consent should be "free verbal or nonverbal communication of a feeling of willingness' to engage in sexual activity." Affirmative consent may still be limited since the underlying, individual circumstances surrounding the consent cannot always be acknowledged in the "yes means yes", or in the "no means no", model. Since the late 1990s, new models of sexual consent have been proposed. Consent can also be revoked at any moment.
In Canada "consent means…the voluntary agreement of the complainant to engage in sexual activity" without abuse or exploitation of "trust, power or authority", coercion or threats. Creative campaigns with attention-grabbing slogans and images that market consent can be effective tools to raise awareness of campus sexual assault and related issues. Many universities have instituted campaigns about consent. In the late 1980s, academic Lois Pineau argued that society must move towards a more communicative model of sexuality so that consent becomes more explicit and clear, objective and layered, with a more comprehensive model than "no means no" or "yes means yes". In some, the husband has the right to have sex with his wife, who cannot refuse, and if she does the husband can rape her with impunity.
In many jurisdictions, sexual activity without consent is considered rape or other sexual assault. Sexual consent is consent to engage in sexual activity. Voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity
