Research output: Book/Research ReportAuthored Book

Abstract

How can young people negotiate their sexual lives with both pleasure and safety? Sex and Ethics: the sexual ethics education program for young people is an innovative approach to addressing this complex issue. It is designed for young women and men aged 16-25 years and aims to increase their knowledge and skills in ethical intimacy and reduce unwanted, coerced or pressured sex. Sessions include activites on sexual ethics, pressures to be sexual, non-verbal and verbal communication skills, alcohol and its impact on ethical negotiation, ethical consent, negotiating conflicting desires and needs in relationships, breaking up and ethical bystander skills. The program also provides learning objectives for each of the six lessons, educator's notes including detailed instructions on how to run each activity, handouts, worksheets and overheads for each session and suggested readings for educators. This program can be run in schools, Universities, community organisations or any other location working with young people.
