Sex:Consent and harrasment

Substances push your limits during sex:

Only if everyone is considerate of each other can sex involving substances avoid boundary violations, violence, or hurtful situations. Please observe the rules regarding consent.

Consent means active agreement. It must be freely, autonomously, unambiguously, and specifically expressed. If a person cannot consent because they are high, asleep, or confused, you must not engage in any sexual activity.

Clarify beforehand with yourself and your sexual partners what you hope to gain from sex under the influence of substances. Discuss which substance and what dose you want to consume before sex.
Only consume drugs around people you trust when you're sober. Inform them when and what you consume.
Consume only in a way that allows you to still pay attention to signals from your sexual partners.
Abstain from sex if you are no longer able to have it.

Anyone has the right to withdraw their consent to sex at any time. Giving consent to kissing does not imply consent to other sexual acts. This applies to casual acquaintances as well as long-term sexual partners.

If someone sexually harasses you at a party...

…and if they don't stop despite your clear "No!" , inform security. Be careful if someone tries to intimidate you with offered drinks or drugs, and keep an eye on your drink.

If you have been a victim of sexual violence, go to a hospital immediately for an examination and contact a victim support center (available in every major city for free help and support). Even though it may be a very strong reflex, it is important that you do not shower before your medical appointment. This would destroy important evidence for a potential police report. Seek advice at the hospital or from the support center regarding the procedure and consequences of filing a report.
