Multiple Choice

Which of the following can we infer from Estes's claim that what matters is not how communication about voluntary participation in sex was achieved but that each partner possessed a reasonable conscientious belief that reciprocal consent, concern, and desire existed?

• A) Communication should be explicit rather than implicit to establish a reasonable conscientious belief in all partners that reciprocal consent, concern, and desire exist.
• B) It matters more that sexual partners desire to have sex with each other than the existence of their beliefs that each one consents to having sex.
• C) In certain circumstances, it may be possible that a single subtle gesture such as a wink is sufficient to cause partners to have a reasonable belief that reciprocal consent, concern, and desire exist.
• D) Nonlinguistic forms of communication are unable to establish a reasonable conscientious belief in all partners that reciprocal consent, concern, and desire exist.
