A Closer Look at Sexual Consent in South Africa
Ntsiki (23) and Thabo (26) have been seeing each other regularly for a few months. They have a lot in common, enjoy each other’s company, but haven’t been intimate just yet. One night, after getting back from dinner with friends, the couple start kissing and getting sensual. After a few minutes of making out, they start removing their clothes. But as Thabo reaches to remove Ntsiki’s underwear, she mutters that she is uncomfortable. “We’ve come this far, babe. Did you not enjoy the kissing?” asks Thabo.
