V. RATCHET CLAUSE. Whereas the Proposer and the Consenter are aware that
attraction may escalate during the agreed upon sexual activities, and that both parties
may desire to engage in activities heretofore not consented to, the parties agree as
follows. (check one)
☐ - There shall be no sexual activity of any kind other than that specified and
consented to in this Consent Agreement without the establishment of a new, separate
agreement. (See Clause 1 below.)
Initialed (Proposer) _________ Initialed (Consenter) ________
☐ - Sexual activity of a kind other than that specified and consented to in this Consent
Form shall be presumed to be consented to with the retroactive checking of the
appropriate activity above, even after the signing of this Consent Form. (See clause 1
below.)
Initialed (Proposer) _________ Initialed (Consenter) ________
☐ - Sexual activity of a kind other than that specified and consented to in this Consent
Form shall be presumed to be consented to by mutual verbal consent during the
activities engaged in under the consent given in the present Consent Form. (See
Clause 2 below.)
Initialed (Proposer) _________ Initialed (Consenter) ________
Clause 1. Whereas both Proposer and Consenter recognize that alternatives a)
and b) are likely significantly to disrupt any activities consented to under this
Consent Agreement;
Therefore, the Proposer and the Consenter further agree that should the
disruption of agreed activities, caused by the making of a further Consent
Agreement (under a) above) or the retroactive amendment of this Consent
Agreement (under b) above), result in a loss of desire to continue the activities
herein consented to, consent for those activities consented to herein may/may
not* be withdrawn by the verbal statement of one of the parties to this Consent
Agreement.
Clause 2. Whereas both Proposer and Consenter recognize that alternative c)
involves verbal consent of which no physical evidence will exist thereafter;
Therefore, the Proposer and the Consenter further agree that such consent
shall/shall not* be recorded using an audio recording device; and Whereas both
Proposer and Consenter recognize that should no audio recording of verbal
consent under this ratchet clause be made, neither party could subsequently
prove affirmative consent to the activities that were verbally agreed upon;
Therefore, both parties hereby waive their right to claim that no such affirmative
consent was given. Equivalently, the Proposer and the Consenter hereby
consent to any further activities that can be reasonably deemed to follow
naturally from the activities herein consented to.
