#1

I visited my college again in 2018 as a reporter for The Washington Post. The freshmen were shown a skit that dramatized a typical weekend night out, complete with budding romances and too much to drink.

#2

In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein allegations, a wave of similar stories about sexual misconduct sweeps through Hollywood. But it’s not as simple as bosses locking their underlings in hotel rooms.

#3

The Shitty Media Men list emerges, and it is shared via a Google spreadsheet created by writer and editor Moira Donegan. The list reveals shocking amounts of sexual misconduct by men in the media industry.

#4

In 2018, the play was retitled The Way You Move. The main character having sex with a blacked-out classmate was not okay, because the classmate could not consent.

#5

The #MeToo movement has shown that nonconsent and violence are not the only problems in relationships, but also care and the responsibilities we have to each other.

#6

Sex is not a sandwich. It is a bodily function that involves the spirit. It implicates the human person and our inherent human dignity, which should lead us to treat it with the same level of consideration as we do other bodily functions.

#7

The modern understanding of sex is that the desire to have sex is the desire to engage in a specific physical pleasure. But the desire to have sex is actually much more than just that. It’s intimacy.

#8

The experience of sex can be extremely pleasurable, but it can also be a way to escape the world. It can make us feel desirable and validated, and it can be a venue for self-expression or exploration.

#9

The idea of affirmative consent, which is the requirement that both parties agree to every action, is becoming more and more common. But the problems still remain.

#10

We can try to get more consent, but is that the real problem here. The consent-based ethic hasn’t always worked, and we’ve tried to refine it over the past two decades.

#11

The idea that sex is good and the more of it we have, the better is not working for most people. They are looking for sex that is ethically good, sex that respects them as human beings, and sex that is good for society and themselves.

#12

To find answers to these questions, we must start making substantive claims about what we believe about sex, and how those beliefs affect our behavior.

#13

The play presented to the freshmen was not complete, as it only covered one aspect of sex. But sex has become more liberated, and the problems haven’t gone away.
