The Inbetweeners star and new mum is fronting the Affirmative Consent campaign to change the law on informed confirmation of consent to bring about a 'cultural and legal' shift Emily Atack has spoken out about the 'awful' times she has had sex with people when drunk and woke up knowing she didn't say 'yes'. The Inbetweeners star and new mum, 34, is fronting the Affirmative Consent campaign, by CPB London, in which the actress urges the government to change the law on rape and sexual assault. Speaking to Made In Chelsea's Jamie Laing on his Great Company podcast, she revealed that she rarely enjoyed sex and there were many times she couldn't even remember it.
But as time has passed, she admits that now her experiences would be seen differently, with women expected to "repress" their feelings about sex and consent. Emily shared: "My situations have only been uncomfortable - yeah, literally. Honestly, I can only count on one hand probably where I've actually enjoyed sex.
Growing up, I'm sorry, as a teenager it was awful. "There were no barriers, there were no boundaries. Boys didn't know how to be with girls, girls didn't know how to deal with those situations.
It was a mess." Emily explained: "I went through life thinking if you wake up after a night out and something has happened but you don't really remember it, you just have to suck it up and get on with it. It's like there's no way anyone's going to.
