I’m finding it kind of hard to keep up with all the rules about sex. On the one hand, it seems like we’re all supposed to be free to have sex with whomever we want, whenever we want, however we want (regardless of whether either party is married, knows one another, or intends to call in the morning). On the other hand, in order to actually have sex, we’re apparently required to obtain written consent — witnessed by a lawyer and signed in triplicate — or else it’s rape. So, are we having all the sex? Or aren’t we?
It occurs to me that all this carrying on about written consent and microaggressions and whatnot actually stems from the idea that having sex with people you don’t know very well is not only allowed, but desirable and liberating. If your sexual partners are total strangers then you have no idea whether or not they are going to treat you with respect, so you’ve got to express, in writing, what is, and isn’t, okay with you just in case your random hookup turns out to be a total perv. If, on the other hand, you’re going to have sex with someone you know well, feel comfortable with, and want to be intimate with, then the idea that you’d need to document your consent seems ridiculous.
Here’s a perfect (if laughable) example of this disconnect: a Japanese professor named Kazue Muta thinks the princes from Snow White and Sleeping Beauty are sexual predators. This sounds ridiculous (because it is) but it actually gets to the heart of this whole sex conundrum.
