Abstract

Various embodiments provide a method for initiating and storing consent verification between a user and another person planning to engage in an intimate activity. The method can include the steps of preparing a consent request by the user; sending the consent request to the person; time-stamping the sending of the consent request with the time and date; recording the GPS location of the sending of the consent request; receiving the consent request by the other person; and storing the interactions between users, the entries and edits thereto of any journal entries, and allowing for updates to the resources through the stored databases.
