California and Colorado have affirmative consent laws (the only two I’m aware of). Other states are presenting similar bills. What is the difference between “no means no” and affirmative consent?
In: 32
After reading this entire thread I have decided to take the following precautions.
I will draft a consent contract for sexual interaction stating that the contract was not signed under duress or threat, I will build a room (this will be the contract room), within which there is a smaller room that locks once the door is closed for a minimum of one hour OR if the door is unlocked from outside using a code(this will be the holding room). The room will be monitored by cameras
When I have obtained verbal consent for sexual interaction I will take my potential partner to the contract room. At which point I will hand them the contract then lock myself in the holding room. Once they sign the contract of consent they can then release me from the smaller room using the code supplied after returning a blood alcohol reading of 0.00 on a breathalyzer installed where the contract is signed. The camera recording of this process will be stored along with the contract and breathalyzer readings.
Now at any point if they feel that they are giving consent under duress or threat, they could simply not sign the consent contract and walk away, I would not be able to leave the holding room for an hour giving them ample time to leave without threat.
