ORIGINAL: Spiritedsub2 Contact a criminal defense attorney in Anchorage; look for one who has been in practice for more than 5 years. Arrange a telephone consultation. Ask him/her (a) what quantum and form of consent would protect you from allegations of nonconsensual sex, and (2) what is the climate like in your area regarding the likelihood of the local prosecutor pursuing rape charges in this context. Your consultation is confidential. That doesn't help with the other landmines in this field, but it's something. Ok, this is dusting off an old law degree, but IIRC, technically one cannot consent to an illegal act. Think Kevorkian. His victims agreed and wanted him to help them off this planet, but it was still against the law and he went to jail for it. This is why one can't sell/give themselves legally to others. Now realistically, if you had a signed, witnessed and notarized document written by the victim and proven to be her affirming her interest in said act and approval of said deed, then you could really muddy the waters for a jury and a lot of prosecutors would be hesitant to take the case. But that's rolling the dice in a big way and even if one ended up being found innocent, one would/could always carry the tag of accused rapist should things go sideways. This is one of those "huge risk, little reward" things that, to me at least, seems silly to consider. The payoff isn't even remotely adequate in light of the possible cost.
