A consent form is a document sometimes used by pro doms and other BDSM practitioners before undertaking a scene during the process of negotiation as a way to develop an understanding of risk and established informed consent between the participants, this is more frequently common when practicing edge play with strangers. Many of these forms may strike a strong resemblance to a BDSM Checklist.

Such documents are not legally binding and provide no legal protections and in some cases certain activities participated in may be considered illegal according to local laws.
