ORIGINAL: MasterRenegade77 I think one should have a contract & get it Notarized... Now before you get all riled up you need to understand that a Notary is NOT notarizing the contract but just the individuals signatures on it so there's no need for them to read it... All you need to have is a cover page basically saying this is a Contract between A & B , then a blaze' index page listing the sub-divisions of the contract... Also the Notary seal goes on the back page so if you go in & just flip it open to the back pages more than likely their not going to try to read it... If they do try to read it, tell them it's a top secret Business contract be courteous but remind them you're only there to have them notarize your signatures... If they insist on trying to read it tell them you'll find another notary, Be Polite but Firm... Have 3 Copies of the document one for each party & one to be held by a Neutral Party.... It May not hold for much in a court of law but it would at least show consent... Actually, having a contract can be a horrible idea. You may think it shows consent but it can also show authorities that you are practicing in possible illegal activities. And yes, BDSM activities are illegal in some states. Thus, the moment that contract gets out, you get locked up. For instance, in Colorado flogging can be considered assault. If the police are called to your home and they see marks left by a "session", your going to be in cuffs faster then you can say "But, but, but". They don't need your sub to press charges either, once your in custody, the DA presses the charges forward. Now, you can pullout your little contract and scream "Consent!! Consent!!" all you want but that document can be used against you as much as for you.
