This is old but brings up interesting questions. Thoughts anyone?

Just shows how lawyering has interfered in every aspect of our lives. Besides the fact the 2 kids appear underage. LOL.

.........

Interesting...

Really though I think that guys and gals should talk about that kind of thing. If you're close enough (hopefully this isn't a one night stand thing) to the person then you should talk about boundaries and what one is or isn't okay with.

I don't think this was so much about Lawyering, I think it was just a funny and entertaining way to address the issue of talking to your partner before you decide to do anything.

That's pretty much what I though when I saw it.

Hahaha this is nice

Awhile back wasn't there a college campus that made getting consent before doing anything a big deal? Every activity needed expressive verbal permission.

I found it:

The Antioch College Sexual Offense Prevention Policy

Approved October 31, 2005 Effective January 1, 2006
Sexual Offense Prevention Program phone number: x1127
also available as a pdf document
Preface:

In 1991, a group known as the Womyn of Antioch began a campaign to challenge the culture of sexual violence within Antioch College. Through this effort, a document was createdwhich became known as the Sexual Offense Prevention Policy (SOPP). The SOPP is Antioch College's formal attempt at ending sexual violence while fostering a campus culture of positive, consensual sexuality. It is about empowerment,changing our rape culture, and healing. The SOPP defines consent in a way that emphasizes respect and ongoing communication. It is designed to create an internal system that when followed, will prevent and also respond to sexual offenses within our Community. All Community Members and other persons who use or visit the Antioch campus, regardless of their relationship to Antioch, are expected to become familiar with and follow the SOPP. It applies equally to all types of sexualities, gender identities and gender expressions. As a college policy, it is recognized that the SOPP contains standards of conduct that are different from those of the legal system. It is not the intent of the SOPP to replace existing laws, but instead to include a consensual standard for sexual behavior within Antioch College. See Addendum A for “Herstory: 1990-1996”.
Consent:

Consent is defined as the act of willingly and verbally agreeing to engage in specific sexual conduct. The following are clarifying points:

* Consent is required each and every time there is sexual activity.
* All parties must have a clear and accurate understanding of the sexual activity.
* The person(s) who initiate(s) the sexual activity is responsible for asking for consent.
* The person(s) who are asked are responsible for verbally responding.
* Each new level of sexual activity requires consent.
* Use of agreed upon forms of communication such as gestures or safe words is acceptable, but must be discussed and verbally agreed to by all parties before sexual activity occurs.
* Consent is required regardless of the parties’ relationship, prior sexual history, or current activity (e.g. grinding on the dance floor is not consent for further sexual activity).
* At any and all times when consent is withdrawn or not verbally agreed to, the sexual activity must stop immediately.
* Silence is not consent.
* Body movements and non-verbal responses such as moans are not consent.
* A person can not give consent while sleeping.
* All parties must have unimpaired judgement (examples that may cause impairment include but are not limited to alcohol, drugs, mental health conditions, physical health conditions).
* All parties must use safer sex practices.
* All parties must disclose personal risk factors and any known STIs. Individuals are responsible for maintaining awareness of their sexual health.

These requirements for consent do not restrict with whom the sexual activity may occur, the type of sexual activity that occurs, the props/toys/tools that are used, the number of persons involved, the gender(s) or gender expressions of persons involved.
Violations of Policy:

The SOPP is violated whenever there is an incident of non-consensual sexual conduct on the Antioch College campus, during an Antioch College sanctioned event, or between two Antioch College students regardless of location. This may include but is not limited to:

* Sexually based gestures
* Sexually based touching
* Sexually based penetration of any body opening by any means
* Sexually based stalking
* Sexually based forms of non-consensual communication, whether verbal, written, electronic, or telecommunication based
* Failure to disclose STIs and other personal risk factors, or failure to use safer sex practices
