It's really sad to me that "care about the people you have sex with, and have sex with people who care about you" hasn't taken off as a norm. For just nearly everyone within the human bell curve, this works.
We've gotten weird and legalistic about this because we think we can formalize pseudo-caring. This doesn't work super well in the best of contexts, and sex has got to be pretty close to the worst place for it

I think it does! For example, I think most people implictly understand that things need to go a bit differently if you're having sex with someone who has been a victim of sexual assault, especially recently. Truly caring bridges a lot of gaps.

We have also internalized the idea that we have a responsibility to be accountable to others for every one of our intimate decisions, and thus now require specific, formal, legible procedures to articulate. “The personal is political” strikes again.
