Stetson University students describe attending Mike Domitrz's consent presentation "Can I Kiss You?" They learned that asking for consent doesn't have to be awkward, that offering choices matters in relationships, and how to support peers affected by assault.
Well, I saw this presentation for the second year in a row, and I enjoyed it both times because even though I'm not sexually active, it's still good information to know when we get to that point because it's important to respect boundaries.
Mike's presentation was great. He taught us a lot of stuff. He taught us how to ask for consent and how to stop people when they don't ask for it. And it's gonna— it teaches you a lot of stuff that you need for life and for intimate relationships that you'll have in the future. I took a lot away from Mike's presentation. It was great. I learned that it's not awkward to ask for consent, that it's really important.
Mike's presentation was really great. I liked how deep he went into the conversation and how he told us to get consent before kissing someone, and he taught us about sexual assault and everything. It was really great.
I really enjoyed Mike's presentation. I think now it shows you that consent can be awkward, but it's definitely better and can be better for you in the long run.
I enjoyed how he told us to— that if we wanted to make a difference, we would not just talk bad about whoever did something bad, but we would call people to let them know we would be here for whenever they needed.
It's always cool giving somebody else a choice. Humans like to have choices. Nobody wants to be forced down one path. And so I think everybody should have a choice no matter what. I think if you really do like somebody, you'd give them the choice.
I'm actually not from here, from America. I'm actually from Southeast Asia, and from where we come, We don't actually get advice like these, talks like these. It's actually shunned in our community to talk about these. But what I like about it is it actually taught us what's right, what's wrong, so that we won't make mistakes while we go there. Thank you.
