The easiest way to get out of an uncomfortable sexual setting is to not be there in the first place.

One of the most important ways to avoid becoming a victim of rape is to avoid compromising situations. Be very careful if you have been drinking or using drugs. Your judgment will be clouded. If you do find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, follow these guidelines from the Rape Treatment Center Web site (look for the address in the Resource Guide), and get out of there!

Remember: Acquaintance rape is a crime. It is never okay for someone to use force in sexual situations, no matter what the circumstances are.

Know your sexual intentions and limits. Some men think that drinking heavily, dressing provocatively, or agreeing to be alone with them indicates a willingness to have sex. Be extremely careful to communicate your limits and intentions clearly before you get into a situation you can’t get out of. You have the right to say no to any unwanted sexual contact. If you aren’t sure about what you want, communicate with your partner; ask him to respect your feelings.

Communicate your limits firmly and directly. “NO” means “NO.” Say it like you mean it. Do not give mixed signals to your partner. Back up your words with a firm voice and clear body language.

Don’t be afraid to “make waves” if you feel threatened. If you feel you are being pressured or coerced into sexual activity against your will, don’t hesitate to state your feelings and get out of the situation. A few minutes of social awkwardness or embarrassment is better than the trauma of a sexual assault.

Attend large parties with friends you can trust. Agree to look out for one another. Try to leave with a group, rather than alone or with someone you don’t know well.
