Internal and external sexual consent during events that involved alcohol, cannabis, or both

Malachi Willis, Tiffany L. Marcantonio, Kristen N. Jozkowski Many people engage in drunk sex or high sex and still label that experience as consensual. We found that feelings related to sexual consent did not differ across sexual events that included only alcohol, only marijuana, or neither substance; however, these feelings diminished during sexual events that involved both substances. Sexual health education programs should develop nuanced approaches to teaching people how to navigate sexual consent and substance use – particularly when greater amounts are consumed or multiple drugs are used.
