For the relatively low price of $2.99 (plus shipping), you can buy something called a “Consent Conscious Kit,” which includes everything one now needs to have consensual, adult sex on a university campus: breath mints, a condom, a pen, a consent form and a handy carrying pouch, in your choice of faux suede or canvas.
It was once that the notion of a “sex contract” was little more than acute hyperbole, produced by rape-culture-skeptics as an eventuality of our society’s increasing fixation on what it means to offer consent. “Sooner or later,” these critics would sniff, “you’re going to need to get your partner to sign a waiver before you have sex.”
Strangely, someone must have heard that and said, “You know, that sounds like a good idea.”
