JANE: A woman offers intercourse on her terms. Intercourse is a privilege that a woman confers on a man as a sign of her approval. Naturally this causes men to feel controlled by women. Jim: Jane Im not agreeing with this proposition. JANE: It’s called consent Jim. The penetrating male must always have the consent of the receiver. It is a fundamental concept in sex education. JANE (cont): Some women are more amenable than others. Some men have low sex drives. Some men ignore women’s reluctance to engage in intercourse as often as many men want. There are lots of different personalities, relationships & JANE (cont): levels of male responsiveness out there. Some men are much more demanding than others & may resent the restrictions that their partner places on their intercourse frequencies. Other couples find an easier balance. Jim : Im afraid to interact with you on this subject. You are strong willed. Sexual assault is not your platform, sorry if I introduced it. JANE: I’m sorry if I failed to explain the issue well enough. Consent is a recurrent theme throughout my work. I highlight the grey areas around consent that arise because of the proactive male role & the more passive female role. It is not straightforward. Consent is not just about sexual assault. JANE (cont): Consent is about the many occasions when a man wants intercourse but a woman is less keen. Couples deal with this situation in different ways. But ultimately it helps if a man understands that women hope for affection in exchange for responding to male sexual needs. Dedicated to womens enjoyment of sexual pleasure
