TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Sexual consent as a scientific subject: a literature review JO - American journal of sexuality education A1 - Fenner, Lydia SP - 451 EP - 471 VL - 12 IS - 4 N2 - Despite the presumed centrality of sexual consent to definitions of sexual violence, it remains an ambiguous and often unexamined concept both in lay and professional/scientific discourses. The following literature review of peer-reviewed research studying sexual consent as a scientific object will thematically present major findings from said research and discuss the applications of these findings for educational measures. A reading of existing research in the social sciences on the topic demonstrates the incongruence of many definitions and representations of consent that are used both by researchers and educators alike with the everyday experiences of young people.
