N2  - In recent years, sexual violence prevention has been undergoing a shift towards a consent-focused model of rape prevention. Oxford and Cambridge universities have mandated consent training for all incoming students (Weale, 2014), and California passed a law requiring all colleges to provide policies and training for students on affirmative consent (consent where it is the initiator’s responsibility to ensure consent has been granted; De Leon, 2014). Activist campaigns have also taken up the language of consent. Slogans such as ‘consent is sexy’ and ‘sex without consent is rape’ are being popularized by social media campaigns and activist efforts such as Slut Walk (see Dajee, 2014; Lam et al., 2014; Sexual Assault Voices, 2010). The recent article published by Thomas and colleagues (2017) focusing on women’s accounts of faking orgasm provides an opportunity to revisit the role of consent for sexual violence prevention and sexuality education more broadly. This is the first paragraph of the author's commentary on "Faking to finish: Women’s accounts of feigning sexual pleasure to end unwanted sex" (Thomas, Stelzl & Lafrance, 2017)).
