Lois Pineau is a professor of Philosophy at Kansas State University.

Communicational Model of Sexuality
Pineau argues that the current modes of consent are not working, and we should adopt a communication model of sexality to that consent becomes more identifiable and clear.

Pineau (1989) also argued for a deliberate version of consent she referred to as communicative sexuality. Communicative sexuality assumes that people communicate their willingness to participate in sexual activity with one another. Ideally this communication would be verbal, although it does not need to be.

Pineau (1996) referred to the switch to a communicative model of sexuality as a paradigm shift. She assumed that this shift requires not only a radical shift in the way we think about consent, but also a shift in the way that we engage in sex.

Critique
Critics   of   Pineau’s   original criterion argue that communication always already occurs within a social context of gendered inequalities, and using it to adjudicate rights and wrongs ignores the conditions that produce it (Adams 33).

Barrie Bondurant and Patricia Donat challenge the assumption that acquaintance rape is the result of miscommunication and suggest that it is instead caused by practices of perception and information processing (691).
