Asking for it: The Ethics and Erotics of Sexual Consent

I’m really excited about this upcoming film Asking for it: The Ethics and Erotics of Sexual Consent which tackles the subject of affirmative consent. The film is based on Dr. Harry Brod’s lecture of the same name and is produced by Media Education Foundation. I’ve seen Harry present this material in a variety of situations and I am impressed every single time. I always leave with a new piece of information or metaphor to use in my own discussions of sexual consent. Not only am I happy for Harry to have his wonderful work recognized by one of the largest and excellent distributors of educational videos to colleges and universities, but this provides us with access to his material whenever we want! With this video, we can present his message to a much larger audience.

If you are engaged in any work that involves discussions of sexual consent, affirmative or not, or if you simply want to learn more about this topic, please take a look at this video and check out the video clip below. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

This video is currently available for pre-order and it will ship on September 15.
