When discussing consent, the right of men to it has often been overlooked. According to consultant psychologist James Bosse, the reason for this is that society is patriarchal and demands that men suppress vulnerability and emotional expression. This, he says, makes men their own worst enemies, unable to communicate sexual discomfort.
He explains that society equates male arousal with consent, meaning men who speak out about unwanted sexual experiences are not taken seriously because society insists men are always ready.
