Consent to Sexual Relations - Paperback

by Alan Wertheimer (Author), Gerald Postema (Editor), Jules L. Coleman (Editor)

When does a woman give valid consent to sexual relations? When does her consent render it morally or legally permissible for a man to have sexual relations with her? These are two of the questions discussed in this important book, which will appeal to a wide readership in philosophy, law, and the social sciences. Alan Wertheimer considers a wide variety of situations involving coercion, fraud, retardation, and intoxication.
