In both years, most participants reported that their friends would disapprove or strongly disapprove of behaviors such as using alcohol or drugs to obtain sex, lying for sexual purposes, or using physical force in a dating context. One area showing little change and continued ambiguity is peer approval of telling stories about sexual experiences. In both years, responses were mixed. The lack of clarity likely stems from the question wording, which did not specify whether these were positive, consensual experiences or negative, harmful ones. Therefore, a need for continued education on respectful communication about sexual experiences and boundaries.
