While this form is a step towards enthusiastic consent and keeping each individual safe, consent can be withdrawn at any time, regardless of anything indicated on the form.[1]

State Laws

Individuals can go use the RAINN state law database to learn about consent laws in any state.
Each state has its own consent laws, which cover:
  • How consent is defined.
  • The age of consent.
  • Whether a difference in age impacts a victim’s ability to consent.
  • Whether disabilities or mental incapacity impacts the ability to consent.
  • If consciousness impacts the ability to consent.
  • If intoxication influences the capacity to consent.

How to Complete a Sexual Consent Form (5 Steps)

1. Indicate the Participants, Time, and Date

The names of each party participating in the sexual act should be indicated on the form. The first party will be identified as the “proposer” and the second as the “consenter.” The document should also state the date and time the acts will occur.

2. Select the Desired Acts

The form contains a list of sexual activities the parties may want to perform with one another. Each party should indicate what activities they consent to on the form.

Additionally, the form contains a ratchet clause, meaning that the parties have the right to indicate ahead of time if they want flexibility to perform acts outside of this form should things escalate.

3. State Contraception Measures

Each party will state what contraception they intend to use during the sexual activities and what methods they use on an ongoing basis, if any.

4. Specify Accidental Violation Rules 

The form should state how the proposer and consenter intend to handle an accidental violation of the consent agreement. The parties may elect to treat a violation either as assault or as an accident.

5. Sign

Both the consenter and the proposer must sign the document to validate it. Their signatures help ensure they are both on the same page regarding the permitted acts and boundaries laid out in the document.
