abstract = {The existing literature on sexual consent is extensive, but a new social approach to this
topic is emerging, necessitating further research. This article addresses a gap in understanding how
men’s interactions with other men, who are not their sexual partners, both before and during sexual
encounters, influence their approach to consent beyond sexual cues. The study involved sixteen
interviews and two focus groups with men aged 18–25. Conducted within the framework of the
Consent project (PID2019-110466RB-100), this research aims to analyze how communicative acts,
beyond verbal exchanges, shape relationships where either consent or coercion prevails. The findings
reveal that when men engage in coercive interactions with non-sexual male peers, these interactions
can encourage the violation of consent in their sexual relationships. Conversely, some men reject this
coercive behavior, take a stand, and support others in avoiding situations that compromise consent.
These results underscore the importance of addressing norms of masculinity and male interactions to
ensure that all individuals can autonomously make decisions about their sexual lives.},
