Sometimes, people consent to sex because they face social constraints. For example, someone may agree to sex because they believe that it would be rude to refuse. I defend a consent-centric analysis of these encounters. This analysis connects constraints from social contexts with constraints imposed by persons e.g. coercion. It results in my endorsing what I call the “Constraint Principle.” According to this principle, someone's consent to a sexual encounter lacks justificatory force if (i) they are consenting because withholding consent has an adverse feature, (ii) they are entitled to withhold consent without it being the case that withholding consent has this adverse feature; and (iii) it is not the case that the consent-giver has sincerely expressed that, out of the options that are available to their sexual partner, they most prefer to go through with the sexual encounter in the circumstances.

“…El consentimiento no es más que una de las modalidades en que se ejerce esta autonomía, con la particularidad de que ella, a diferencia de las restantes, constituye una respuesta a una oferta o propuesta ajena, no un acto nacido de la propia iniciativa individual (cf. Westen, 2004a).…”

El alcance justificatorio del consentimiento tácito. El problema de Locke y la lógica del beneficio

Afirma John Locke en el Capítulo VIII de su Segundo tratado sobre el gobierno civil que «todo hombre que tenga posesiones o disfrute de alguna parte de los dominios de cualquier gobierno, está por ello dando su tácito consentimiento de sumisión». Según esta tesis, quien es beneficiado mediante cierta forma de trato, brindaría por eso mismo una suerte de consentimiento tácito al mismo, a menos que exprese lo contrario. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en analizar críticamente el vínculo que establece Locke entre el consentimiento y la idea de beneficio. Para ello, apelaré a una semántica centrada en las razones personales o agencialmente relativas para actuar, que son las que explican en última instancia, según argüiré, el poder justificatorio del consentimiento en los distintos ámbitos normativos de nuestra vida.

“…That ordinary moral weighting can be altered or shifted like this is not itself unusual. We typically think that the normative landscape is altered when consent is provided, for example (Westen 2004; McLean 2010; Dougherty 2013, 2018). That consent has this so‐called “normative power” helps explain a number of features of our everyday lives: why surgery can be morally acceptable, but merely cutting a stranger is not; why gift‐giving can be morally praiseworthy, but theft is morally wrong; why the absence of words or attitudes can change an act from sex into rape, and so on.…”
