Mom Tells Son: If She Wants To Have S*X, Get Her To Text ‘Yes’ First
Sounds extreme, but not for Roxanne Jones, a former executive at ESPN, who says such motherly advice can potentially help save her son from a false r*pe accusation. In an op-ed published on CNN, Jones encourages other moms to follow her lead, arguing, in part, that s*x has evolved over the years to such a degree that parents “still fail to discuss s*x and evolving s*xual mores frankly with our sons and daughters, all this freedom has led to confusion about the ever-changing rules of engagement when it comes to s*x.”
To be sure, she makes it clear in her piece that “no” means “no” and that no woman asks to be r*pe. However, Jones highlights statistics from the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism which reveal that about 97,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are victims of alcohol-related s*xual assault or date r*pe. Such circumstances further complicates the meaning of consent, Jones argues.
So, in order to remove any doubt about consent, Jones recommends the following:
Never have s*x with a girl unless she’s sent you a text that proves the s*xual relationship is consensual beforehand. And it’s a good idea to even follow up any s*xual encounter with a tasteful text message saying how you both enjoyed being with one another — even if you never plan on hooking up again.
