Sammendrag
The generalized social concern with sexual harassment and nonconsensual
sex makes it imperative to incorporate notions of consent in any analysis of
human sexual interactions. Such interactions follow an ordered sequence of
events, starting with the perception of a sexual incentive, followed by an approach to it, genital interaction, and eventually orgasm. Consent from the
partner is needed at every stage. At some points in this chain of events, the individuals involved make cognitive evaluations of the context and predictions
of the likelihood for obtaining consent for proceeding to the next phase.
Processes such as communication of consent or lack thereof, sexual decision making, and interpretation of cues emitted by the partner are decisive.
Increased sexual motivation may influence these processes. However, available data make it possible to ascertain that enhanced motivation has no, or at
most minor, effects, thereby invalidating the old assumption that heightened
sexual motivation leads to impaired control.
