It seems that it may be easier to track if California passes a law that states that on college campuses a person must give verbal or written approval in order to have sex with them, each and every time they have sex. Even couples in a relationship need the verbal or written approval every time they consummate the relationship. The normal signs are to be ignored, there must always be a “yes” said or written.
For me, I would always go with the written, because the verbal gets tricky with the whole he said, she said; he said, he said; or she said, she said. Luckily, we live in a modern age, so it would be possible to have a contract on your phone that both of you sign, saying the sexual endeavor is mutually agreed to.
In that contract, there would need to be a safe word clause, which would end all proceedings. This is needed, because in the heat of the moment, a “no” might be accidentally said. This word could be anything, even “no,” and I would suggest having that as a default safe word, just for your own personal security. Keep in mind once the no has been said, even if it was an accident, you should get another written approval before starting again.
Since you never know if someone might change their mind after the fact (this is a very rare occurrence, but just in case, it’s better to be nit picky than to wind up in jail), it is essential that you would keep these contracts on file, and this is where you would be able to count the times that you have sex.
So don’t think of this law as a hinderance, think of it as a way to keep a tally. Just watch out if your future partner finds the grand total.
