Idea for a dating app at college!

Problem at college is consent for intercourse. How do you record consent, so it does not get revoked a few days latter? Too many students were dragged through mud, and had their lives destroyed!

This is not a technical problem.
So if you consent and later change your mind and say stop, other person has right to continue? Someone has not thought this through :)
An immutable blockchain record would seem to be appropriate? I will let you come up with a suitable name for such a chain (and the corresponding coin).
We could also solve cheating by representing romantic interest as an NFT which can be traded from one partner to the nest, with hotels and restaurants only accepting two-person bookings from couples who are confirmed as owning each other’s tokens!

Or, you know, have sex sober with trustworthy people and don't rape anyone. It's not a high bar.
