One of the things that has become evident because of the ongoing #MeToo movement is that several men seem – or claim – to find the concept of consent in matters of sex difficult to understand.

That is why it may be a good idea to revisit this video from 2015, which uses a cup of tea to explain the concept.

The animation was created by Blue Seat Studios, using copy written by blogger Rockstar Dinosaur Pirate Princess, but making it more child-friendly.
