Abstract

In Part I of this book, I discussed the context and experiences of young people’s experiences of sexual intimacy. I also highlighted the limitations of many sexuality and violence prevention education approaches. In this chapter, I discuss the sexual ethics approach I have developed and implemented with young people that attempts to address some of these questions. I begin with a reflective account of the evolution of my thinking on the sexual ethics approach I use and position it in relation to sex, violence prevention, and young people. From here, I move to consider the sexual ethics framework I developed based on French philosopher Michel Foucault’s ideas about ethical sexual subjectivity. I then explore how these ideas have been applied in the Sex & Ethics Program as well as responses from young people and educators since its inception.
