Also please repond in 3- 4 sentces to this student :
How was compassion relevant in this story? Why do you think compassion is important in sexual situations?
Compassion is relevant in this story because if Dr.Jen just wrote him off as an asshole and let him leave immediately, they wouldn’t have had that conversation that led him to reflect on his behavior. Compassion in this specific instance led to sexual awareness that hopefully prevents him from crossing sexual boundaries again. Furthermore, I believe that compassion is important in sexual situations because it allows who is involved to be more understanding and considerate of one another.
From your understanding, is this situation common? Is this something that good people could do without even realizing it? Why or why not?
I am sure this is a common situation especially with how popular dating and hook-up apps are. Consenting adults meet up for “fun”, expectations are communicated between them but get tossed out the window when things get heated/escalate. In Dr. Jen’s case, things got heated and boundaries were crossed. I 100% think that good people could do this without realizing it. When you are in bed NAKED and fooling around, it’s not an uncommon assumption that sex is going to happen. Yes, Dr. Jen clearly stated that sex was not going to happen that weekend, I am not saying what he did was right but I can totally see how signals were misinterpreted. On the other hand, if a woman wants to participate in sexual activities without it leading to sex she has every right to go as far as she wants.
How would you define sexual consent?
I would define sexual consent as individuals being on the same page with one another. Nothing happens that the other person is even slightly uncomfortable with. I also define sexual consent as being sober to consciously make decisions that arent altered by substances. I also think that sexual conduct should happen organically without being pressured into it.
