Beata's review of the wonderful guidebook *Creating Consensual Sex* has been published in the magazine Kult_Online
"Even with the utmost care and the best of intentions, things can go wrong during sexual encounters. [...] This inevitably complicates theories of consent that assume autonomous subjects with a transparent core self and misconstrue sex as a coherent experience that can be navigated with sovereignty and rationality. [For this reason] Maria Dahlhoff distinguishes between a ‘sphere of sexual consent’ and a ‘sphere of sexual transgression.’ [...] Boundary violations are conceived as part of the sphere of consent. They are called ‘consent accidents’ as long as they are unintentional and those involved take responsibility while learning from the experience. If, on the other hand, no consequences are drawn, the act is repeated, and pressure, manipulation, or coercion are used—leaving only resistance or acquiescence as possible reactions—then, according to Dahlhoff, these constitute non-consensual acts of violence within the sphere of sexual aggression."
