"Yes Means Yes" Sex App Is Here [View all]



The ink was barely dry on California's groundbreaking "yes means yes" sexual consent law when we heard about Good2Go, an app that lets adults put their lovemaking affirmation on the record.

The bill by state Sen. Kevin De León requires state colleges to establish a standard of "affirmative consent" for students who want to engage in sex. Verbal or even written consent must be given by sexually active college-goers under the law signed Sunday by Gov. Jerry Brown. Nonverbal communication won't cut it under this legislation.

The free app, which can be found for both Apple and Google-based devices, asks users if they're down to get down (answers include, "No. Thanks," "Yes, but ... we need to talk," and "I'm Good2Go&quot .

But it also takes it one step further by administering a light sobriety test as well. It asks if users are inebriated, and if they say, "I'm wasted," it won't allow consent to be recorded.

Do you think this app will reduce campus rape?
