I've started signing agreements with my sext partners. I know this sounds like overkill, but I think it's well advised.
I had a conversation several months ago with one of my quite brilliant friends. He studies law and he explained how a validly signed agreement between parties can create and establish legal obligations and duties between the parties. As long as these are legal (for example the parties don't sign themselves into slavery) they can be unforced or upheld in a court.
So I started to use them before sexting anyone or sending explicit material to anyone.
I generally use several standard clauses. The permitted activities clause states what activities can be performed under the agreement. It's not stringent as it allows other activities by agreement of the parties. There's the no recording allowed clause, which is self explanatory. The crucial clause is the copyright clause. Each party owns all rights to the things sent by them. Any leaks or unauthorised use would violate the agreement.
In the last section, the agreement clause stipulates that any agreement authorised by both parties must be written and signed.
Of course, the agreement varies between parties and their likes. I've signed one where the other party can take screenshots subject to the copyrights clause. The agreement also forbids total nudity.
Using the agreement is very helpful I think. We can point to the agreement and say that something is or isn't allowed.
Has anyone else tried it?
