Test Your Ability To Tell Enthusiastic Consent From Apathy With This Sexual Consent Quiz

Created by Pooja on May 27, 2018

You've already hooked up with someone (consensually). Does their consent then apply to every time you want to have sex with this person after that initial first time?

1You've already hooked up with someone (consensually). Does their consent then apply to every time you want to have sex with this person after that initial first time?

Yes, they’ve already consented with me, so we’re good.
No, each time is different and you need consent every time you hook up.
This is a grey area, I don’t know.

2You're having consensual sex when you switch positions. Your partner looks visibly uncomfortable and asks you to stop. What should you do?

Ask them to chill out and keep going in this position, since you already got their consent.
Stop, change positions and/or change whatever you need to so your partner feels comfortable, including stopping all together if necessary.
This is a grey area, I don’t know.

3Now, it's time to play everyone's favorite game: spot the consent! Out of these scenarios, only one of them is actually consensual. Which one is it?

They say yes, but you break out a camera and start taping them without telling the person you're hooking up with.
They say yes and you handcuff them to the bed without clearing it with them first.
They say yes and you spank them. You ask if they like it, they say yes, and you keep doing it.

You want to have sex but your partner doesn't. Here's the thing, though: you're married. Does marriage automatically grant you consent whenever you want to have sex?

4You want to have sex but your partner doesn't. Here's the thing, though: you're married. Does marriage automatically grant you consent whenever you want to have sex?

Yes, it’s part of being married and it’s normal to expect my partner to have sex whenever one of us wants to.
No, even though we’re married, my partner can still withdraw consent at any time.
This is a grey area, I don’t know.

Here's a situation: you're having (consensual) sex when you notice your partner isn't really present. They're staring off, their body is listless or rigid, and they've stopped engaging in sex. You ask what's wrong and they say

5Here's a situation: you're having (consensual) sex when you notice your partner isn't really present. They're staring off, their body is listless or rigid, and they've stopped engaging in sex. You ask what's wrong and they say "I'm fine." What should you do?

Keep going, they said they’re fine and you’ve already gotten their consent.
Stop since they’ve stopped engaging in sex and you’re no longer able to tell if they’re consenting.
This is a grey area, I don’t know.

6Is it still consent if your partner agrees to have sex with a condom, but you slip it off when they aren't looking and keep hooking up?

Yes, we’ve been having sex this whole time, what’s the big deal?
No, they only consented to sex with a condom, so their consent is no longer valid without one.
This is a grey area, I don’t know.

7After a really great first date, they come back to your place. We're all adults here... is it safe to assume they're consenting to sex?

Yes, I’m not an idiot. We all know what this means.
Assume? No. More likely to get their consent? Sure, but I still need a clear consent.
This is a grey area, I don’t know.

8You ask for consent - and you get it! You're having sex, when all of a sudden, your partner changes their mind. Is there still consent present?

Yes, they’ve already consented and we’ve already been having sex. The consent is good until we finish.
No, they changed their mind. Duh.
This is a grey area, I don’t know.

9It's time for round two of spot the consent! It's just like last time. Which situation is consensual? (Hint: the rest aren't!)

They've consented to vaginal and oral sex, then you're caught up in the moment and start having anal sex with them.
You spontaneously start talking dirty to them and they spontaneously start dirty talking back.
You're having sex and you're about to finish, so you "finish" wherever you want in or on your partner.

Everyone's favorite variable to toss around with consent is inebriation. Where do you draw the line? Here's a scenario to ponder: if this person is too incapacitated to get home unassisted, are they too far gone to consent?

10Everyone's favorite variable to toss around with consent is inebriation. Where do you draw the line? Here's a scenario to ponder: if this person is too incapacitated to get home unassisted, are they too far gone to consent?

Not too far gone, if they say yes, they say yes!
There’s no way to get consent, they aren’t able to consciously say yes or no.
This is a grey area, I don’t know.

11Your partner consents to sex... after you've threatened to harm either yourself or them if they don't have sex with you right now. Is it still consent?

Yes, consent is consent.
No, they can’t freely consent if they’re being threatened.
This is a grey area, I don’t know.

You're a little bit buzzed at a bar when you spot someone also alone at this bar. You go to the bathroom and start hooking up. You start taking off their clothes, they ask if you have a condom... but wait! Is this consensual?

Yeah, totally! You’re about to have sex in this public bathroom!
Nope, nothing’s been consensual yet.
This is a grey area, I don’t know.
