While contemporary movies now routinely prioritize consent, ensure date rape is no longer a joke, and celebrate girls' desires, sexual consent remains a problematic and often elusive ideal in teen films.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eConsent Culture and Teen Films,\u003c\/i\u003e Michele Meek traces the history of adolescent sexuality in US cinema and examines how several films from the 2000s, including \u003ci\u003eBlockers\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e To All the Boys I've Loved Before\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Kissing Booth\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAlex Strangelove\u003c\/i\u003e, take consent into account. Yet, at the same time, Meek reveals that teen films expose how affirmative consent (\"yes means yes\") fails to protect youth from unwanted and unpleasant sexual encounters. By highlighting ambiguous sexual interactions in teen films—such as girls' failure to obtain consent from boys, queer teens subjected to conversion therapy camps, and youth manipulated into sexual relationships with adults—Meek unravels some of consent's intricacies rather than relying on oversimplification.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy exposing affirmative consent in teen films as gendered, heteronormative, and cis-centered, \u003ci\u003eConsent Culture and Teen Films\u003c\/i\u003e suggests we must continue building a more inclusive consent framework that normalizes youth sexual desire and agency with all its complexities and ambivalences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1.
