Once upon a time, safe sex meant condoms. Nowadays, you need more protection, you need legal protection, so you don't end up charged with sexual assault and rape. Don't worry, the blockchain' s got you covered.
All you have to do is download an app called LegalFling, have your intended partner log in and consent to having sex with you and her agreement will be registered on the blockchain as a legal contract.
The app, created by a Dutch company, allows users to store various information, including STDs, if you use foul-language during sex or whether you're interested in BDSM. Even if such an app seems completely crazy, in the wake of the feminist movement which labels most everything as toxic masculinity it might be helpful for guys. You never know if the hot chick you pick up in a bar and comes more than willingly to your place won't report you for rape the next day.
Over the past few years there' s been so much talk about consensual sex that many colleges have come up with the idea of using real paper contracts, which should be signed by both partners prior to engaging in sex.
Obviously, consent can be easily retracted at any time with a simple swipe. Well, not that easily actually if you're in the middle of something. The partner wishing to put an end to the encounter has to reach for the phone, log back in and swipe you away – which could be awkward. Of course you could agree to go to bed phones in hand!
According to the website, the app generates a LiveContract which is legally binding, although whether it holds up in court depends on the legal system in your country.
