What Turns You On: Consent

In this webinar, Dr. Alexandra Katehakis discusses consent as an ongoing process rooted in self-awareness, communication, trust, and respect rather than a single moment of agreement. Using the framework of the "ABCs of consent"—awareness, boundaries, and communication—she encourages participants to reflect on their values, preferences, desires, and comfort levels in intimate relationships. The presentation examines topics such as verbal and nonverbal communication, changing one's mind during sexual encounters, navigating consent in dating and hookup culture, establishing healthy boundaries, and understanding the role of trust and safety in sexual relationships.
