Episode 8: Will asking for consent make me look like a loser?

Author :- Georgie Wolf June 10, 2020, 9:50 a.m.

This episode is about sexual consent – how we talk about it, how we do it, and how we can use it for better hook-ups. I don’t promise to have all the answers, but I’m hanging out with Gus this arvo, and we’re going have an honest chat about how we do consent and how we could be doing it better.

Content warning: There’s some heavy stuff in this episode. We will definitely be talking about sexual assault, and things get complicated, because everyone involved in this conversation is both a victim and a perpetrator of consent violation. It’s not easy to talk about. If you think hearing about this might be distressing, you might want to give it a miss.

If you need support while listening to this episode, please consider calling 1800 Respect (Australia’s national sexual assault, family and domestic violence hotline) on 1800 737 732 or Lifeline Australia (if you’re in crisis) on 13 11 14.
