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.

And if she is Greek it is even more so as Neh means Yes.
However given the current low rate of conviction in rape cases this may well balance the situation somewhat. There are many men out there who are only after a one night stand, this would ensure they are with a like minded female.
