This manual explains the ways that teenage males can avoid becoming the victims or perpetrators of sexual assault and encourages them to explore their beliefs and values about sexuality in a responsible manner.
Abstract
The text emphasizes that males often believe that they should be in charge and make decisions at all times and that they need to be sexually experienced to be considered a man. It presents guidelines for treating others with respect and for changing actions that are contributing to someone else's harassing behavior. A checklist presents the specific behaviors that represent date rape, and guidelines emphasize the importance of communication, respect for someone's refusal of sexual involvement, and reporting of sexual victimization. Case vignettes and discussion questions examine specific situations involving sexual assault and potential responses to them. Index.
