Australian law makes sexual consent explicitly verbal
NY Post ^ | July 6, 2018 | Jessica Rapana

If you want to have sex you now have to ask for it loud and clear and get a verbal “yes” back under new reforms announced by the New South Wales government in Australia. NSW is a state on the west coast of Australia and Sydney is its capital.

Sexual consent is at the core of the state’s first strategy against sexual assault released on Friday, which will focus on raising awareness about consent, as well as protecting victims and preventing sexual harassment in workplaces and universities.

So...unless it’s recorded, whose word counts?

I wonder if some entrepreneur will come out with a device, so that when a couple want to have sex, they must each turn it on with a fingerprint, and then verbally record that they want sex with the other, named person. Then it records sound for an hour, and if either one says “STOP” or other such word, it sets off a loud alarm.

When the recording is done, that hour long part becomes “read only” and cannot be overwritten.

Yes, that ludicrous. I’m sure others could add stuff to make sex almost impossible. Breathalyzer? Requires encrypted STD test from both? You name it.

And “is” will have to be removed because it is too general.

Underlining yet again the importance of proper punctuation.

Yes, punctuation saves lives...

"Let's eat Grandma!" versus "Let's eat, Grandma!"

I'd play it safe and get it in writing, signed, and notarized.

“I think we need to have a third party witness at every sexual encounter.”

Men need to insist, “No filming, no sex! Gotta put it on camera for legal insurance.”

While the government’s working it’s way back into the bedroom, how about adding a ban on sodomy to the pot?

I guess “Add a lay” is going to have to change its name.
