.What is Sexual Consent?

Sexual Consent means actively agreeing to be sexual with someone. Consent lets someone know that sexual touch is wanted

Without consent, sexual activity (including oral sex, genital touching, and vaginal or anal penetration) is sexual assault or rape.

In Michigan: Age of consent is 16 years - Enthusiastic yes - Sober yes!

When you're engaging in sexual activity,consent is about communication. And it should happen every time.

Giving consent for one activity, one time, does not mean giving consent for increased or recurring sexual contact. For example, agreeing to kiss someone doesn't give that person permission to remove your clothes.

Having sex with someone in the past doesn't give that person permission to have sex with you again in the future.
