Bill Cosby once openly mocked colleges' "affirmative consent" rules in a pre-2000 book aimed at recent college graduates.

According to the Huffington Post, in the 1999 novel "Congratulations! Now What?" the suddenly scandalized, legendary comedian reflects on all the positive developments borne of being a college graduate.

Chief among his examples was the relief of no longer being subjected to "campus sex police," who are "ready to charge you with sexual harassment if you put your hand on any woman besides one who had asked you for help in crossing the street."

In one passage titled "No More Pre-Caressing Agreements," the now 78-year-old Cosby concocts a scenario set in "a leafy college lane," in which a male and female student attempt a date. After the guy tells the girl that she looks good in the moonlight, she hoots back, "Max, I don't want you to have a record, so I'll pretend you didn't say that without permission. Do I have to quote the Supreme Court on Ruddy v. Weinstock and Kansas State?"

The male replies, "Sorry. OK, Simon says: May I look at your face?" Later, the couple haggles over whether they should hold hands, with the woman eventually compromising and offering "a couple of knuckles."

In recent times, as many as 46 women have emerged accusing Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting them over the years, including 35 who recently posed for a New York magazine cover story.

Earlier this month, excerpts from a 2005 deposition given by Cosby were publicly released in which he admitted to obtaining quaaludes to give to women that he wanted to have sex with.

In early October, Cosby faces yet another deposition, this one by famed civil rights attorney Gloria Allred, stemming from a suit filed by former Playboy bunny Judy Huth, who alleges she was assaulted by Cosby at the Playboy Mansion more than 40 years ago when she was just 15 years old.

Through his team of attorneys, Cosby has denied all the accusations.
