In the U.S. the whole 13th amendment business makes it a legal non-starter, but as long as you don’t want the state to actually enforce the contract, you can agree to whatever you want.
Also I’d absolutely love to see a deep dive from Devin into civil law (contract, tort, liability, injury, defamation etc) as it pertains to BDSM.
As with everything, consenting adults make almost any court case between two people effectively null, unless the state asserts its authority (as is with certain types of injury), and/or when it pertains to other people (when person A tries to tell person C that they own person B, and such try to claim control of various processes, etc.)
I’d be interested in how much the law would allow or understand those cases, or in which cases the state is allowed (without either party filing claims) to step in by itself. (Which there’s a specific word for, but I forgot it)
