The Ethical Slut on consent:

An active collaboration for the benefit, well-being, and pleasure of all persons concerned.

That's important.

I really, really do understand what you're worried about. It made me think, though, that this is the thing:

In any relationship involving people, there's no 'sure'. You really can't ever be sure about anything. All there is, is trust. So you can't ensure anything, you can't make it sure. What you can do is build your trust with the person to the place where the possibility of a problem is low enough compared to the payoff that you get that you're okay with it.
