Consensual Non-Consent
Updated:Consensual non-consent, also known as CNC, is a BDSM practice where participants agree in advance to act out a scenario that appears to be non-consensual. Despite its name, it is a consensual activity where all parties involved have thoroughly discussed and agreed upon boundaries, safe words, and the specific acts that will occur. The practice often involves power exchange dynamics and roleplaying scenarios.
Additional Information
Consensual non-consent requires a high level of trust, communication, and preparation between partners. It's crucial to establish clear boundaries, safe words, and aftercare plans before engaging in CNC play. This practice is not for beginners and should only be attempted by experienced BDSM practitioners who fully understand the risks and responsibilities involved.
It's important to note that consensual non-consent is a fantasy roleplay and does not condone or relate to actual non-consensual activities, which are illegal and unethical. The key difference is the presence of informed, enthusiastic consent from all parties involved, established well in advance of any scene or activity.
