Module 11: What is Non-consensual Sex? Non-consensual sex is:

forcing someone to have sex (force can be physical or psychological)

going further sexually when the other says "no" or "stop"

going further sexually when the other is too drunk or high to make a conscious decision

coercing or tricking someone to have sex

Nonconsensual sex is either rape (vaginal intercourse) or sexual assault (other sexual acts). Rape and sexual assaults are serious crimes.
