#164 - Dr. Brad Sagarin on the Culture of Affirmative Consent

This week Woody chats with Dr. Brad Sagarin, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology at North Illinois University. Dr. Brad is a researcher in the BDSM lifestyle and is offering his newest paper on “The Culture of Affirmative Consent.” While some critics of BDSM associate it with sexual aggression, and particularly violence against women, the subculture has had long-standing norms of affirmative consent, the researchers said. Their study found BDSM practitioners also report lower levels of rape-supportive beliefs than individuals surveyed from outside the subculture.
