Abstract
Rape is as historical problem that is persistent today arid has become embedded in our
culture. No place is this problem more apparent than college campuses. College has a
long-standing tradition of alcohol abuse and a culture that rewards men for sexual
conquest. Sexual scripts have changed over the last few decades and now young people
have to find their way through sexual interactions without a universal understanding of
how to communicate with a partner about consent. Without similar techniques, people
assume that they and their sexual partners are thinking the same thing which can lead to
unwanted sex that unfortunately is not illegal in most cases. This study analyzes college
students' Folk Psychology of sex and communication of consent to discover what is ideal
and what cases break this norm.
