Lastly, sexuality has been described as a contractual agreement. Pi — neau (1989) has critiqued the traditional conceptualization of consent, which “sets up sexual encounters as contractual events in which sexual aggression is presumed to be consented to unless there is some vigorous act of refusal” (p. 233).
