Sex Permission Slip?

I haven't had a parent sign a permission slip since I believe my 8th grade field trip. Now some colleges across the country are asking students to sign their own "permission slips"... for sex.

The consent forms are designed to protect ladies, and yes the guys as well, from being taken advantage of in sexual situations.

Some colleges even implement policies on having consent forms, available for print on the website. Here is a link to a sample consent form:




I will delve more into the topic of sexual assault on campuses later, but check out these statistics:

-90% of all campus rapes occur under the influence of alcohol.
-1 in 4 women in college today has been the victim of rape, and nearly 90% of them knew their rapist.
-Every 21 hours, there is another rape on an American college campus.

With statistics like these, it's questionable whether these forms are a proper means of protection or a way to prevent a university lawsuit.

Besides the point of claiming that these forms are for safety, by signing these you are making any romantic situation into a contracted agreement.

Sponteneity is out the door and I think a partner pulling out one of those forms could definitely ruin any "moment"...
