A mapping and discourse analysis of power inequalities and freedom to consent in UK Relationships and Sex Education resources
Although freedom to consent is central to definitions of sexual consent, it is unclear whether and how freedom to consent, and the related concept of power inequalities, are engaged with in existing Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) resources. In this study, we aimed to: (1) identify what RSE resources are recommended for UK 11–14-year-olds that cover power inequalities and/or freedom to consent; (2) analyse pupil-facing material with young p…
I Couldn’t Just Say ‘Can You Go Home Please’”
There is limited research on how substance use impacts people's freedom to negotiate sexual activity with others, particularly in distinguishing between alcohol and drug use. This study addressed that gap by exploring how substance use can both extend and constrain sexual negotiation. A mixed-methods online survey of 354 UK adults aged 18-40 examined sexual consent across sober, alcohol-, and drug-involved experiences. This paper focuses on the q…
Matching, friending, and swiping for sperm donors
There has been an increase in people using online, unregulated websites and social networking groups to look for potential sperm donors in the hope of becoming parents. This practice is facilitated by online platforms which have been designed to connect the two parties who are looking to receive or donate sperm. We aimed to systematically map the scope, nature and characteristics of the digital landscape of online sperm donation (OSD). Using 51 s…
More Than ‘Resilience’
Poor mental health among undergraduate students is often addressed through interventions which aim to improve resilience, mindfulness or similar qualities. This shifts the responsibility of improving student mental health onto students themselves and obscures the effect of institutions and societies. This scoping review aimed to identify what is known and what gaps exist in the literature about institutional and societal risk and protective facto…
Research Protocol for Forging New Families in Contemporary Contexts
People looking for sperm ('recipients') and people providing sperm ('donors') are increasingly connecting via informal online platforms, such as 'connection websites' and social networking sites. Typically, research has not focused on this route to conception. Little is known about how people involved in online sperm donation initiate, negotiate, sustain or end their relationships with each other, how power or influence operates within this conte…
Adults’ Understandings and Experiences of the Capacity to Consent to Substance-Involved Sexual Activity
Most research on capacity to consent to substance-involved sex has focused exclusively on the implications of alcohol with little attention given to other or additional psychoactive drugs. This study aimed to explore people's understanding and experiences of the capacity to consent to alcohol- and/or drug-involved sexual activity. UK adults ( N = 354) completed an online mixed-methods survey on sexual consent during sober, alcohol- and/or drug-in…
Doing things you don't wanna do’
Legal definitions of sexual consent emphasise ‘freedom’ as central to valid consent; however, power inequalities may complicate freedom. This paper discusses findings from a two-stage focus group study with young people (aged 13–23) in England exploring the implications of power inequalities for sexual consent. In Stage 1, 77 participants explored and ranked the types of power inequalities they felt were common within young people's sexual relati…
Deconstructing “Sexual Deviance”
We identify and examine three assumptions underpinning "sexual deviance" in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) of Mental Disorders: (1) the "sexual deviant" - often, "the male sex offender" - prefers "deviant," and has limited (if any) "non-deviant," sexual fantasies; (2) this differentiates them from the non-sexual-/non-offending "norm"; (3) preferred fantasies are "deviant" or "non-deviant." Adult volunteers ( N = 279; equal numbers of…
Tensions and potentials of involving young people in discourse analysis
Involving participants/intended audiences in discourse analysis may help to avoid overemphasising the structural effects of discourse and silencing participant voice. Yet, involving participants in complex analytic processes effectively can prove difficult. In this study, the authors undertook a Foucauldian discourse analysis of sexual consent material within eight (predominantly UK) wide-ranging, youth-focused campaigns to identify the discourse…
Towards a culturally situated understanding of bullying
Bullying has typically been defined and studied separately from other forms of gender- and sexuality-related harassment and violence such as dating and relationship violence and sexual harassment, arguably obscuring the complex interrelations between these phenomena. This article is based on an EU-funded project which explored young people’s understandings and experiences of sexual bullying (bullying related to gender and/or sexuality). Data coll…
Bullying in Five European Countries
Sexual bullying refers to bullying or harassment that is sexualised, related to sexuality, and/or related to gender expression (Duncan, 1999). Research on sexual bullying is disparate and still developing as a field. This study extends on this research through a mixed-methods analysis of the different forms of sexual bullying and the relationships between them across five European nations. Participants were 253 young people (aged 13–18) from Bulg…
Making and Communicating Decisions About Sexual Consent During Drug-Involved Sex
Sexual consent is a central component in the primary prevention of sexual violence. There is growing evidence of the impact that alcohol consumption has on sexual consent. However, there has been no review examining sexual consent in the context of other drug-taking. Published literature was sought using searches of: PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, MEDLINE and Open Dissertations. Unpublished literature, such as unpublished…
Everyone Knows Me as the Weird Kid
Everyone Knows Me as the Weird Kid is a performance text created from collaborative narrative interviews between the first author and a 15-year-old participant named Max who identifies as bisexual and genderfluid. The performance explores how Max negotiates a range of challenges-including homophobia, transphobia, bullying, and harassment-on a day-to-day basis. It offers evocative insights into life as a young person with an intersecting identity …
Young masculinities across five European countries
We present an analysis of young masculinities based on young peoples’ perspectives derived from a project on sexual bullying. Our qualitative data are based on 41 focus groups with 253 young people (male and female) aged 13–18 across five European countries (Bulgaria, Italy, Latvia, Slovenia and England) as well as questionnaire responses. The data were analysed using thematic analysis (Braun, V., and V. Clarke. 2006. “Using Thematic Analysis in …
"New Technologies of Representation, Collaborative Autoethnographies, and "Taking it Public
New technologies for representing and communicating autoethnographies make it possible to be publicly visible in new and interesting ways that weren't possible prior to the digital revolution. An important ingredient in this process is the Internet platforms that can make the digitization of performances accessible across the world, even for short, modest creations from less experienced digital storytellers and film makers. As an illustration of …
