Abstract
Previous research assumes that people communicate consent “in the bedroom” or other private settings and immediately prior to sexual activity. The research presented in this study challenges that notion, examining consent as it was interpreted by 30 heterosexual college students during in-depth interviews. Our findings suggest that men often read consent as happening in social settings, whereas women are more likely to conceptualize such cues as part of a larger consent process that also includes cues occurring in private settings. This disjunctive understanding may be a function of larger social scripts regarding expected sexual behavior and may lead to problematic interpretations of consent messages.
