Would you sign a Sex Consent Form if you were asked to?

This is a hypothetical question meant for everyone, ladies and gentlemen, young and old, straight or gay: if an immediate potential sex partner were to ask you to sign a written consent form prior to engaging in sexual activity, would you be willing to sign and then still be willing/eager to engage in sex?

When I'm horned up enough, I think I'd probably sign anything!

Yes. I’d sign it. And as with all good contract negotiations, I would likely add a few additional clauses and initial them here, here, and here.

What is the purpose of such a contract? Legal proof of consensual sex, or would it have “performance” requirements? That could get quite creative - specs for number and frequency of orgasms, penalties for poor performance (Spankings, enemas?) … what other specs could be included?

What is the purpose of such a contract?

My initial thoughts on this were serious, not meant as a joke. More as a way of protecting oneself against false allegations afterwards.

But then I started wondering how I would feel if someone asked me to sign such a consent form (let's say for the purpose of argument to engage in gay sex - cause I don't really see a woman wanting a signed consent from me first).

I think I would be so put off and apprehensive that I would prefer to let the opportunity to have sex go by, out of prudence.

And I am also wondering if signing it would be agreeing to having an obligation to then engage in sex, no matter what happened in the interval. Could you be held to it as if it were a contract?

This was a tangent that popped up in my mind when thinking about gowns and doctors. And maybe I've been reading too many legal thrillers lately. First some 20 John Grishams and now Scott Turow ... ha ha

My guess is if a man asks a woman to sign one he is protecting himself against claims of nonconsensual sex. If a woman wants a man to sign one it could be she wants to keep it on file should she ever need to blackmail or "leverage" the guy.

I did that for a beautiful hooker in Maui many years ago. She faxed it and a pic of my driver's license to her home for security. She was smart, and a "professional" Great sex.

All depends on the wording. These days, in some situations proof of consent may make some sense...

You are more trusting than I am. No way am I handing my home address and name over to some complete stranger engaging in criminal activity.

I did cam girl work when I was a kid 12 to 14. The people I worked for were really shady. The things they would do with all that information would be mind boggling. They did some wild things with credit card information.

Being presented with a contract for sex would set my suspicion alarms off something wicked so no. I would not have sex with them either.

I have signed a do and don't and expectation agreement with BDSM partners.

A consent form is a contract allowing for a described procedure and might contain a hold harmless should some part of that procedure not result in the anticipated outcome. The question, as written, could be interpreted to mean sexual contact which could simply be touching through the use of a hand, genitals, or some other object. It also would likely have a date and time of signing and a limit to date and time for which the covered work that took place under its coverage would be allowed. It might also stipulate a location and other conditions that would need to be met to be binding. If you have ever donated blood you are aware of the Red Crosses idea(s) of sexual contact. It would also have to include the payment terms. It would seem unlikely that someone engaged in the sex for sale trade would want to sign something like that because it would be highly incriminating, and I don't see the clients wanting to do so either. The wrinkle would be a contract protects both parties not just one, but it is not too unusual to see the wording rather lopsided to one side. Not so sure about leaving a copy of any identification either if the act described was illegal, but then DNA or finger prints are admissible evidence. On the other hand, a contract similar to a prenuptial agreement might serve to indicate a longer term commitment and one that was not an attempt to sanitize an otherwise illegal act. You could go further to designate the reason for the exchange of money was for some other purpose such as house work or repairs again legitimizing the exchange of money. I don't see why anyone would want to invalidate a cover story so there are possible reasons to enter into a contract.

I don’t think I would sign. Just out of the principle, to be honest. But I’m saying that at this moment … it is really sad and weird that it comes that far that 2 people obviously liking one another sexually would have to draw a paper and ‘officially’ give their consent to sex …

I’m from the time that one or 2 definite “no’s” should be enough and leave the other person in peace.

I really find it unbelievable that someone would dorce my daughter or son to sexual acts. The person who would try to might regret it after the 2nd or 3rd “no” because of their ability to defend themselves quite effectively, but it really is a shame ot would have to come that far and that it already has come that far.

Being straight, even if a woman or a girl walks around naked on the street, that does not give me the right to intrude her personal space around her … unless she would agree with it ofcourse. And it’s that little sign that everyone should learn to understand. At that moment you don’t need a ‘sex-contract’ 🤔

This is an interesting idea and needs some thought before answering. Check back later.

Contracts have to be mutually beneficial to have legal standing. What do I get out of it?

If it's with me, an orgasm up front.

All she'd have to do is start unbuttoning her blouse, and if I couldn't find a pen, I'd build one!

…an orgasm up front.

‘An’? Pfft.

You should find a good lawyer to both delineate the activities included and protect you from lasting harm.

As @Nurse_Phillips has said, must be mutual and it should not be breaking any laws as that will negate that part of a contract and could negate it being mutual.

@Nurse_Phillips, laid.

if an immediate potential sex partner were to ask you to sign a written consent form prior to engaging in sexual activity,

My initial response was that this was a casual hookup, a potential one night stand. It did not sound like a long term agreement. It sounds more like up front, straightforward consent discussion regarding what is in bounds and out of bounds for an evening of fun. In a way, that kind of discussion can be very hot.

Yes to this.

No to that.

Oooooh, I hadn’t considered XYZ, that sounds fun, let’s try it!

Have never been with a person where that would be an issue, we were always horny and wasn't even a thought! 😜

If it says John Hancock I’ll sign if it says John’s hand and cock I’ll give ‘em a picture .

Signing a form is different than a contract. Contracts for sex, like contracts betweeen a sub and a dom, are not legally recognized in the US.

What about in Nevada, where prostitution is legal as far as I know? Just wondering if sex might might be considered a single instance of services rendered.

Well I know of company that does have form for dating within in the company. So they don't become liable which includes sexual relationships if he or she consent to it.

Oh definitely yes, By doing this is protecting you from being accused of many possible illegal sexual related issues.

I would encourage this on both sides in today's world. I also think it would make the event more stress free having a signed consent. My opinion.

A sex consent form could be a good way to set out what is and is not acceptable between the parties involved. That is not a bad thing to have.

Would I sign one...the situation would dictate whether one was needed or not.

Interesting topic... might be fun to play around with... but could have legal ramifications😕 should a relationship turn sour...

I think I already have since I'm married. 😆

Depends on the wording, conditions and clauses, in the "contract". No to an open-ended contract.
