Safe sex: Dutch blockchain company creates app for giving consent

Our thanks to John for this. An extract:

The LegalFling website is crystal clear that anyone has the right to change their mind at any time.

“‘No’ means ‘no’ at any time. Being passed out means ‘no’ at any time,” the FAQ page states.

“This is explicitly described in the agreement. Additionally, you can withdraw consent going forward through the LegalFling app with a single click.” All you need to do in the thick of the action is take a deep breath, open the app and adjust the settings to tell your sex partner you are no longer comfortable with something.

  1. The only ‘ science’ women are good at is the ‘ science of consent’. It surely has become that complicated by now..So trying to create some guidelines is a great idea.

  3. Whatever happened to using the tongue God gave us?

    This seems so obvious it feels silly to write here, but is one partner going to be paying attention to their phone while the other sends a “No” out of the blue?
    They will most likely be oblivious that their partner has suddenly withdrawn consent. Let’s hope this app doesn’t catch on (I doubt it will) or it will lead to more rape accusations (that is, accusations of an unreasonable nature).

  4. The minute this comes before a judge somewhere who is faced with a crying female, it will be as much protection as a paper mache condom.
