What is true when someone has consented to engage in a sexual activity?

They can withdraw consent at any time
They must say yes every time
They cannot change their mind
They must be sober

The correct answer is: They can withdraw consent at any time

When someone has consented to engage in a sexual activity, it is important to understand that consent is an ongoing process and can be revoked at any moment. This means that even if consent was given initially, an individual has the right to change their mind and withdraw that consent at any time during the activity. This principle ensures that all parties feel safe and respected throughout the encounter. The concept of ongoing consent highlights the fact that agreement at one moment does not imply that consent is permanent or unconditional. This understanding is essential in promoting healthy and respectful relationships. Recognizing that consent can be retracted also underscores the importance of communication between partners, which is vital in all intimate situations.
