TAKE OUR SURVEY!!.... you know you want to!

The CSU Health Network and the Office of Women’s Programs and Studies are hoping to get a sense of how CSU students understand “consensual sex.” How do you know if you have consent? How do you give consent? How is “consent” communicated? Is there any way to TALK about consent without KILLING THE MOOD? Results will be used as part of a program during April which is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (ie buttons, T-shirts, posters).

Thanks for your participation! Every response is valuable!

For the purposes of this survey, “consent” refers to the process of actively indicating a willingness to participate in whatever action is taking place – in other words, "consent is a voluntary, sober, enthusiastic, wanted, informed, mutual, honest and verbal agreement.” With this in mind, please answer the following questions:

1. How would you feel if someone you were hooking up with asked the following question?
“Does this feel good or should I stop?”
a. It would be a turn ON
b. It would be a turn OFF


2. How would you feel if someone you were hooking up with made the following statement?
“that feels really good… keep going”
a. It would be a turn ON
b. It would be a turn OFF


3. Sex experts often say that consensual sex is more enjoyable because all people involved are not only aware of what is happening but they are also actively willing to participate.
Do you agree?
a. Yes, consent definitely makes sex hotter and more enjoyable for all people involved.
b. No, consent does not have any effect on the quality of sex.


4. Without killing the mood, how do you ASK for consent to a sexual encounter?



5. Without killing the mood, how do you typically GIVE your consent to a sexual encounter?
