consent scenario 1
desiree and naomi are best friends and are at a party together. desiree notices that naomi is drinking a lot and starting to slur her words. jackson, a cute guy at the party, approaches naomi, who is totally drunk. jackson asks naomi if she wants to hook up. naomi nods her head and is led upstairs by jackson. desiree can see that naomi is stumbling up the stairs.

• what do you think about this situation?
• is consent possible in this situation? why or why not?
• would it be different if both jackson and naomi were intoxicated?

Explanation:

Answer:

This situation involves a person who is visibly intoxicated being propositioned for a sexual encounter, which is a violation of consent standards.
No, consent is not possible. Naomi is too intoxicated to clearly communicate or understand the situation and give informed, enthusiastic, revocable consent.
No, it would not be different. Intoxication means neither party can give informed, enthusiastic, revocable consent.
