Bilden visar två vuxna som överväger sex. Vilket krav måste vara uppfyllt för båda enligt svensk samtyckeslagstiftning?
The diagram shows two adults considering sex. What condition must both meet under Swedish consent law?
Correct answer: Both participate voluntarily
Sex must be based on voluntary participation in the actual situation. Willingness can be expressed through words or actions, but silence or passivity must not automatically be treated as agreement.

Why this option does not fit
Båda har varit ett par länge
A long relationship does not replace voluntary participation in the current situation.
Båda har tidigare haft sex
Previous sex does not mean consent on a new occasion.
Båda har låtit bli att protestera
The absence of protest does not itself establish voluntary participation.
