ATTENTION : En Suisse, l'âge de la majorité sexuelle est fixé à 16 ans, visant à protéger les mineurs des abus sexuels par des adultes plus âgés. La loi offre également une protection spécifique aux adolescents entre 16 et 18 ans contre les actes sexuels de la part d'adultes en position d'autorité, comme les enseignants ou les employeurs. Durant cet épisode, nous abordons un sujet crucial et intime : le consentement et le plaisir sexuel. Elyn et Laura discutent de pourquoi la communication n'est pas seulement la clé pour assurer un consentement mutuel, mais aussi un catalyseur pour un plaisir partagé. Elles détaillent des techniques pratiques, notamment le modèle REELS : Réversible, Éclairé, Enthousiaste, Libre et Spécifique, ainsi que des techniques dérivées du BDSM, pour s'assurer que le consentement soit toujours au cœur de nos interactions.
