Sexual consent and sexual violence prevention in sexuality education: What can be learned from the negotiation of sexual consent between same-sex attracted women?

(2018) Sexual consent and sexual violence prevention in sexuality education: What can be learned from the negotiation of sexual consent between same-sex attracted women? PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis examines same-sex attracted women's understandings of sexual consent. The thesis uses the theory of compulsory heterosexuality to analyse interviews with twenty-three women about their experiences in sexuality education and their relationships. The findings point to gaps in Australian sexuality education that position same-sex attracted women outside of mainstream discourses about sexual consent. The omission of same-sex attracted women from discussions about consent has implications for the prevention of sexual assault. Participants recommended that sexuality education focus on ethical approaches that are inclusive of queer experiences and perspectives to better prevent sexual violence in all types of women's relationships.
