CNC
Consensual non-consent (CNC) is a mutual agreement between partners to be able to act as if sexual consent has been waived, for example, rape roleplay. Also referred to as a "power exchange kink" within the BDSM community, it's a type of erotic roleplay that plays out as though it is non-consensual but has in fact been consented to. Consensual non-consent includes any form of BDSM play where it has been agreed in advance that the standard means of revoking consent, for example saying "stop", "no", or "don't", will not apply. The majority of BDSM practitioners who participate in consensual non-consent activities will uses prearranged safewords as a means of revoking consent.
Reception and Criticism
CNC is accepted in the BDSM community only if practiced in a consensual, informed, and safe way for all people involved, using clear boundaries and safe words. But outside of this community, CNC is often misunderstood and perceived as dangerous or immoral. Risk of blurring the very concept of consent, the potential for trauma for people involved, especially those who sadly have a history of sexual abuse, and the risk of reinforcing negative stereotypes about BDSM practices are highlighted. To practice CNC safely, it's important to install a clear communication, consent, and safety measures.
