consensual non-consent
CNC is a negotiated agreement in which the players agree on the course of the scene before hand as usual, and agree on a safeword. The sub might struggle, plead for it to stop, and/or fight back, and the action might look extreme. CNC scenes commonly involve rape-play, attempts to escape, resistance, and/or wrestling. The safeword allows both parties to act out non-con without being in danger. These scenes require extensive negotiation and planning so that players can engage in interactions that would otherwise indicate a lack of consent with the mutual understanding that such activities do not, in that scene, signal a true desire to stop. Kinksters engaged in CNC are thus able to act out a nonconsensual fantasy in real life, with safety precautions in place, while simultaneously playing with ostensibly resistant and coercive behaviors.
