CNC stands for "consensual non-consent" and is a type of BDSM roleplay where consenting adults agree to take part in "forced" acts. In CNC play, one partner is "taken against their will" by the other partner, but both partners have complete knowledge and agree to the act. CNC is a pretty common kink, though not one thats quite openly talked about. One of the key reasons that people find CNC so appealing is that it allows for a complete shift in power dynamics. The intensity and vulnerability of CNC play can also be incredibly satisfying for both partners. However, it is important to note that acts of consensual non-consent can be triggering for someone who has experienced past trauma. Therefore, it is essential to establish boundaries and communication strategies before engaging in CNC play. Even with the most careful planning, CNC play can present unexpected challenges or situations, so its important for both partners to remain attuned to one anothers nonverbal cues, to check in often, and to be prepared to halt play if necessary. It is also crucial to do thorough research before engaging in CNC play.
