Connecticut is one step closer to ensuring college students are easily accused of sexual assault for not following a government-mandated list of rules for the bedroom.
The state senate, late Wednesday evening, passed an affirmative consent bill - or "yes means yes" legislation - designed to force students engaging in sexual activity to follow a question-and-answer formula. From the moment the students are about to touch, they would have to ask: "May I kiss you?" "May I touch you here?" etc.
[Snip]
The policy decouples context from the totality of the sexual experience. If a student fails to ask for permission before one escalation, but asks for it for a different escalation, the entire encounter can be considered sexual assault. If a student has been drinking (the bill doesn't require an accuser to prove they were incapacitated), then all consent is negated. Further, once someone is accused, their level of intoxication doesn't matter, even if under the same policy they could be considered too incapacitated to consent.
The policy also states that silence does not equal consent. But it doesn't equal sexual assault either. Yet under affirmative consent, it does, unequivocally. Past sexual encounters between two people also don't count as consent, so even people in years-long relationships are required to follow these rules or they've committed rape

This is orwellian. I can’t believe what liberals are getting away with. The whole college rape stats were completely phoney
This is hysterically ridiculous! I predict a whole lot of violations goin on, as has been the case since teenagers were “first invented”.
The gays say get the government out of the bedroom, but hey, they’re back, and you’d best fill out those forms in triplicate.
Well this can get very awkward.
So there has to be constant affirmative chit chat??
Does that feel good? Can I touch it? Can I stick my finger up ———? Can I touch your ———?? why is that part so big??
Can I ask a stupid question? Wouldn’t it still be his word against hers, in case of conflict? Won’t we need recording devices during any encounter, to ensure that the required conversations and assent happened as stated? What if he said she affirmatively said yes to further actions, but she says she didn’t?? Aren’t we then still back to square one on all of this???
Actually I could see all of this discourage promiscuity. Rather than go through all of this, maybe people will limit their sex activities to someone very close to them, someone with whom they have a close loving relationship with, someone who will not be able to claim later that non-consensual things happened??? Just a thought.
But... but... but...
...I thought Lefties wanted government “OUT OF THE BEDROOM?”
Better get it in writing or law suit/jail to follow.
GOOFY!
AKA the Hooker Full-Employment Act of 2016.
Ironic that these same liberal loons kept yelling that conservatives were going to invade the privacy of their bedrooms.
Triplicated Sex Forms:
Sign Here, Here, and Here...and initials here, Please.
Right all set, let’s go....
Why does it only apply to college students? Total BS. In fact, college age women who do not attend college are more likely to actually be raped (in the way that that word is generally understood) than their cohorts who attend university. This is just more of the total unreality of modern university culture.
Women who do not attend university are more likely to be poor. Poor women have it tougher in every way, they live among men with poor impulse control, are more likely to work night shifts or in situations where there are more opportunities for rape, like convenience store clerks.
You want to know who crime victims are? Pizza delivery men and cab drivers, who get ZERO respect and protection from the Nimrod legislatures.
This pisses me off beyond reason.
The new puritanism, feminist style.
And you need a witness to sign it too.
ROFLOL!
Ungh. :)
Liberals are a cancer.
We need RADIATION THERAPY.
How could this law be enforced unless people were literally required to sign a consent form before having sex? Without that, it all remains a “he said/she said” affair.
SLOW DOWN buster.
I don't see a notary public, any recording devices, and the required five witnesses.
Always ask and always record consent on you iPhone
