Interesting idea but will it really have much of an impact? There's a school of thought that says if it prevents one rape then it's done good - but think about it. What does she need to do to give consent? Say the word 'yes'? What about 'yeah'? Or 'yah'? Will a nod of the head do?

What if she's foreign? Can you say you thought 'Nein' meant 'yes'? I saw this because you can bet some hot-shot solicitor will try it as a defence.
