Emily Atack says past drunken sexual encounters with men could be considered rape because she can't remember them and she didn't say 'yes' - as she fronts affirmative consent campaign


She explained that she had been reflecting on past encounters that she now views in a different light because women are conditioned to 'repress' their feelings about sex.

During a discussion on Jamie Laing's Great Company podcast she explained that she could count on one hand the times she's enjoyed sex and that there were many occasions she couldn't remember sleeping with someone. It got me thinking: Consent, or the lack of it is at the heart of so much sexual harassment and violence that women and girls experience, yet the current law still fails to protect those who don't say the word 'no' outright. The actress previously explored the alarming rise in online sexual harassment for new BBC2 documentary Emily Atack: Asking For It after experiencing repeated daily abuse across her Instagram and TikTok accounts.
