===Consent contracts===
In 2003, sex therapist Dr. [[Ava Cadell]] suggested that celebrities and professional athletes ask partners in sexual encounters (she uses the slang term "[[groupie]]s") to sign a sexual consent form, which she calls the sexual encounter equivalent of the [[prenuptial agreement]]s that are signed before some marriages. Dr. Cadell says that like a prenup, a sex contact can reduce litigation.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20030731005753/en/Dr.-Ava-Cadell-Kobe-Bryant-Writing-Leading|title=Dr. Ava Cadell to Kobe Bryant: 'Get It In Writing' Before 'Getting It On'; Leading Sex Therapist Warns Celebrities and Athletes |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=31 July 2003 |website=www.businesswire.com |publisher=Business Wire |access-date=30 March 2019 |quote=}} </ref> The advocacy group named The Affirmative Consent Project is providing 'sexual consent kits' at US universities. The kits include a contract which the parties can sign, stating that they consent to having sexual relations. The kits suggest that the couple take a photo of themselves holding the contracts.<ref> {{cite web |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/sex/11738202/Sex-consent-contracts-for-university-students-Would-you-sign.html |title='Sexual consent contracts' are now a thing.

NYU law professor Amy Adler commented about the depiction of consent contracts in the novel ''[[Fifty Shades of Grey]]''; she states the signing of the legal contract before sex could help to avoid uncertainty in sexual encounters.<ref name="Emma Green">{{cite web |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/02/consent-isnt-enough-in-fifty-shades-of-grey/385267/ |title=Consent Isn't Enough: The Troubling Sex of Fifty Shades: The blockbuster fantasy has become a big movie—and a bigger problem. |last=Green |first=Emma |date=10 February 2015 |website=www.theatlantic.com |publisher=The Atlantic |access-date=13 June 2018 |quote=}}</ref> In Emma Green's article about the film, entitled "Consent Isn’t Enough: The Troubling Sex of Fifty Shades", she disagrees with consent contracts as a solution on the grounds that "even explicit consent" may not be enough in hard-drinking college dorm environments where most students have little experience with negotiating sexual permission.<ref name="Emma Green"/>

Toronto sexual consent educator Farrah Khan disagrees with the idea of consent involving a signature on a contract, as she argues that it is an "ongoing conversation" that involves listening to one's sexual partner.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2018/09/26/kavanaugh-allegations-sex-ed |title=Kavanaugh Allegations Reveal Lack Of Comprehensive Sex Ed, Consent Educator Says |last=Khan |first=Farrah |date=6 September 2018 |website=www.wbur.org |publisher=WBUR |access-date=3 March 2019 |quote=}}</ref> David Llewellyn, who started the Good Lad Initiative at Oxford University, says that consent contracts could give participants the mistaken sense that once the consent contract is signed, they cannot withdraw consent and stop the encounter. Llewellyn states that even with a signed consent contract, both partners should ensure ongoing enthusiastic consent to sex, because he says consent is fluid and changeable.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.muscleandfitness.com/women/sex-tips/do-you-need-sex-agreement|title=Do you need a sex agreement |last=Demarco |first=Justin |date= |website=www.muscleandfitness.com |publisher=Muscle and Fitness |access-date=30 March 2019 |quote=}} </ref>
