How about an app to validate consent?An app that provides the ability for two partners to register their initial consent to a sexual encounter.Market is: Anyone dating or just fucking around that don't want the risks around consent (from both sides)How it works: Sexy times come after something like exchanging a QR code after having inputted finger-print recognition or something like that.The pitch: Make consent a conversation. Get validated on an app to protect you and your date from interactions out of consent.
The idea to make sure it's not only initial consent: You get to give a consent rating to the person AFTER the act. Rating get disclosed in large brackets (i.e. Amazing at consent, could work on consent, not great at consent, shit at consent, danger danger danger!)
The idea came to me after reading horrible depictions of victims of absurd rape not being trusted that they didn't give consent because there was 'no sign of violence'. Why not bring consent above board?
Ideas are cheap, so I'm throwing this one out here to crowdsource this if someone sees value in this. Pick it up if you think this is useful and you want to build it. Tell me what is missing or what you'd add. Tell me the areas where this would be difficult / how you would worry this could be manipulated for evil. Tell me if you'd use it or not and and why.
I know, this can have very black mirror vibes, but I believe technology can be used for good (otherwise I wouldn't be on reddit!)
Consent is not just whether one consents to sex, which it seems like this app would consider, but actually consent is about all the different parts of sex...what kind of aex, what kink, barriers or no...and it's ongoing...imo there's just no way for an app to accurately deal with this.
