Talking Back to Sexual Pressure
by Dale Atkins, Ph.D.

Learn how to respond to sexual persuasion. How do you say no if you're attracted to someone but not ready to go “all the way”? Practice responding to some of the best come-on “lines” you'll ever hear. What can you say to avoid disease and pregnancy?

Learn how to cope with intrusion and force. What do you say to resist sexual harassment – at work, in school, in therapy? How do you report it, or get legal help if necessary? How can you cope with oglers, obscene phone-callers, or acquaintances with rape-prone characteristics?

Lean why our society is a “sexual disaster area.” How can you act against exploitation? Report child abuse? Make your views known to networks, sponsors, and legislators in response to exploitation in the media? React to exploitative jokes and remarks in social situations?
