Mike Domitrz argues that the slogan "Consent is sexy" misses the point. Two people can fully consent and still regret it afterward. He calls for more honest conversations about sex that acknowledge consent alone doesn't guarantee a good experience.
You'll hear this in colleges. Consent is sexy. If you've heard that motto, say, yes, I have. Yes, I have. Not always. Here's a reality. Is it possible that 2 people could agree to be sexually active, agree, totally agree, and regret it afterwards? Is that possible, yes or no? Yes. Totally consensual, and it wasn't the best experience. When you say things like consent is sexy, you mislead people into thinking because you agreed, it's gonna be amazing. It's not how life works. Certainly not how sexual activity works often. So we have to be honest about that.
