I'm still a little unsure what the student regent does. Men and women often view sexual behaviors differently. It is a socially sanctioned courtship ritual, a way to invite interest and establish relationships. The same is true when women allow or invite men to kiss or fondle them. Many men, on the other hand, consider sexual overtures and innuendoes a prelude to intercourse.
Most people view the use of force to obtain sex as unacceptable.
The difficulty arises in determining what constitutes agreement to have sex. If she does not demonstrate her resistance verbally or behaviorally, it is at this point that misunderstanding can lead to unwanted sexual penetration, or rape. There are many reasons why a female might fail to offer active resistance. Women must learn to be explicit and consistent in communicating their limits to their partners. They must refrain from using flirtation and other sexual behaviors as a way to get attention, gain status or popularity, or enhance their self-esteem.
