  • Title: Sexual diversity on college campuses: using a BDSM framework to discuss consent.
    Author: Eastman-Mueller H, Oswalt SB, Nevers JM.
    Journal: J Am Coll Health; 2023 Apr; 71(3):660-664. PubMed ID: 33830899.
    Abstract:
    Sexual assault in higher education is a continuing concern. At the same time, college students are engaging in a range of consensual sexual behaviors that could appear to be sexual violence. Sexuality education on college campuses should address the spectrum of sexual behaviors and college health professionals and administrators need to be able to distinguish consensual rough sex from sexual violence. Common consent negotiations in BDSM (bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism) contexts may serve as an appropriate model for acquiring consent. This viewpoint article aims to (1) review the increased participation of college students in diverse sexual behaviors, and (2) introduce the consent process of BDSM as a framework for college health professionals to discuss consent for other sexual behaviors.
