Article here. Excerpt:

'“Sexual consent contracts,” once the stuff of parodies, are now a real product that activists are selling online for the purposes of promoting “sexual respect.”

The “Consent Conscious Kit” is being sold online by the Affirmative Consent Project at the website InstantConsent.com. For only $1.99, one can get a small bag (available in both faux-suede and canvass varieties!) filled with a condom, a pen, some breath mints, and this simple contract:

The contract recommends that potential lovers take a picture of themselves holding the contract, or else use the pen to fill out the back, which reads “On this date, [blank], we agree to have consensual sex with one another.” There are then lines for two people to both print and sign their names (the contract is apparently no good for threesomes or orgies).'

You have to sign a new one every five seconds to keep things legal.

Talk about destroying the mood.

I'll bet the odds are good that a lot of women will simply say that the man they slept with coerced them into signing it.
I get the feeling that this will change little or nothing.
