Deji Adeyanju: Risks of Intimacy with Intoxicated Partners
Legal practitioner and activist Deji Adeyanju recently made a controversial statement, advising people not to engage in sexual activities with a drunk person, as they may later claim it was rape.
His comments were meant to raise awareness about the complexities of consent and the legal ramifications of engaging in intimate relations with someone who may not be able to give informed consent due to intoxication.
While Adeyanju’s advice may have been intended as a cautionary measure, it has sparked significant debate. Many argue that such a statement oversimplifies the issue of consent and may inadvertently shift blame onto victims who may already be vulnerable in situations of abuse or exploitation.
Consent is a fundamental element of any sexual activity, and it is important to recognize that intoxication can impair a person’s ability to make clear and conscious decisions.
The conversation around consent, especially in cases involving intoxication, remains a sensitive and critical issue in many societies, including Nigeria.
Legal experts and activists alike emphasize the importance of understanding consent fully and ensuring that all parties involved in intimate relations are able to make clear, informed choices.
