Do Your Relationships Make SENSE?
College Sexual Violence Prevention Programs that Make SENSE
About The Program
In today’s world, if you don’t have a script for your relationships, they may wind up looking like a bad movie —and every reality show star will tell you that’s no way to live or love! Porn, romantic comedies, and reality television all set us up for unrealistic expectations and a lack of control over how our sexual encounters unfold.
How can we rewrite this script and set ourselves up for success? This Title IX worthy program focuses on negotiating affirmative and enthusiastic consent, and it can be tailored for conservative and religious-affiliated campuses.
From Title IX to Navigating Emotions
Make your relationships make SENSE by checking in with yourself—and each other—about the following factors before considering an intimate encounter: S elf - awareness, Emotions, Needs, Safety, and Enthusiasm.
Writing your best story is an opportunity to craft the sexual encounter of your choice together, in as much detail as possible. Setting realistic expectations and having constant communication are the keys to negotiating enthusiastic and affirmative consent every time. Each talk is different, customized for your student body’s specific needs, answering the tough questions posed by your students, and always inclusive of all genders and sexual orientations.
