Consent can absolutely be decided immediately. But as the situation changes, consent can too. You might’ve been ok with safe sex, and said only “yes” assuming that was the situation. Only to then find out there never was a condom and now you have a greatly increased risk of pregnancy or disease. That consent is now revoked, and retroactively. That isn’t a case of “lol too bad you said yes.”

What about after everyone agrees, the person looks back, and regrets it for some reason.

Can they prosecute for rape, even if you followed all the rules of consent?

Also, one of the reasons I was thinking to just have the other person just tie me to a bed or something and use me, they can do what they want and unless they do something pretty stupid, revoke my own consent. And they literaly can’t be raped if they have to do everything themselves.

No wondering if this person changed their mind or are faking it or something, because they can always just get off, ensuring consent is now just the other person’s problem.

No, I’m asking about changing consent retroactively.

Say I consent today, we have fun… and in a few days I get informed that I could earn some money by claiming I did not consent.

  That isn’t a consent issue, it’s a false accusation. It’s common for all sorts of crimes to be used for manipulation; either to deflect blame or to cause damage to someone’s reputation. Even if the language of consent is used, it’s not really about consent; in a different cultural paradigm the same false accusation would be made with different words

    Was a thing some years ago thay stirred up drama in the right-wing circles where someone claimed they wanted to bring in laws where you can be satisfied, have good mutual sex, and some time after, decide you feel icky over it, and withdraw consent retroactively.
    
    Prob just someone trying to scare people out of sex.
