But in passing, it seems to me that if the active parties know that records of consent and the activities exist then they might be a little less likely to make bogus accusations or to cross the line. Win-win all around, I think.

PHEW! I think I've solved the problem. Maybe I'll make it into a graphic. Suggestions?
Although I might suggest that because it’s such a convoluted and complicated process it might be an idea to try to automate it somewhat – perchance an iPhone App? But as suggested, it seems that all that is essentially needed is for both parties to enter some password – maybe thumbprints could work. The data is then recorded and stored “on-the-fly†elsewhere, ready to be provided to “the authorities†if it turns out that someone has crossed a line or experiences some “buyer’s remorse†the next day. And then, as with other “commercial transactions†or purchases, both parties have several days to raise some objections, after which the files are more or less deleted.
But in passing, I might note there are already iPhone Apps in existence or planned whereby you can authorize other purchases or transactions.
