That's what people say, yes, but I can't parse "exactly once." It just plain doesn't make sense. It's understandable as a fantasy concept: "I don't want any way to back out of this." But real life is never so black and white... and the vast majority of Master/slave couples I've known have broken up. "I give consent exactly once" would mean "I can never withdraw it."
That's not real life, and I (at least; YMMV of course) have found that people who use this definition tend to have elaborately bizarre explanations for why obvious exceptions do not count as impugning the once-consent.
But if that's so, then they haven't been honest about the once-consent in the first place, and are talking nonsense rather than telling me how their relationship truly works.
